The Covid-19 pandemic that has hit various parts of the world, including Indonesia, has had an impact on society. One of the layers of society that has experienced this impact is students. With the large-scale social restrictions, Indonesian students do a lot of activities at home. Many students become concerned with themselves, but there are also students who feel bored because of low social interaction which in turn causes high food consumption and sedentary behaviour at home. The objective of this study to determine changes in body weight, food consumption and lifestyle in Indonesian students. The design of this study was cross sectional, with descriptive analysis conducted on 1185 students in Indonesia. The results of the study stated that the pandemic had an impact on Indonesian students. During the pandemic as many as 67.1% of students experienced changes in the size of their BB. Most of the students experienced moderate stress (77.1%), and bad sedentary behaviour by 63.4%. However, diet and exercise habits have changed for the better as much as 52.6% and 63.7%, respectively. Indonesian students need to pay more attention to changes in body weight and lifestyle during the pandemic so as not to have a negative impact on health and nutritional status.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the mental health of people worldwide. An increase in perceived stress can lead to unhealthy behaviors such as increased food consumption. The aim of this study was to find the level of perceived stress and its relationship with increased food consumption during the “third wave” of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain. This was a cross-sectional study that employed anonline self-reported frequency of consumption questionnaire and the Perceived Stress Scale-10. A total of 637 subjects participated and 83.6% of respondents had moderate or high stress—more prevalent in the female and young respondents. Moreover, 36.1% of respondents reported that they had increased the frequency of consumption of some foods, mainly nuts, snacks, and jellybeans, along with coffee, tea, cocoa, and soft drinks. Eating between meals was more pronounced in those with high stress (65.1%) than in those with moderate stress (40.4%) and low stress (20.2%). Furthermore, the respondents with high stress reported greater weight gain. Thus, the results show that the level of perceived stress during the ‘third wave’ of this pandemic increased food consumption.

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic has forced governments around the world to impose strict hygiene and national lockdown measures, which in turn has changed the dietary and lifestyle habits of the world’s population. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate whether dietary and physical activity behaviors of Saudi Arabia’s adult population changed during the COVID-19 quarantine. Methods An electronic questionnaire which assessed changes in body weight, dietary habits, and physical activity of Saudi Arabia’s adult population (n = 2255) during the COVID-19 quarantine was distributed on social media between June and July 2020. To test the differences between changes in dietary and physical activity behaviors in relation to changes in body weight a Chi-square test was used. Results Over 40 and 45% of participants reported eating and snacking more, respectively, which led to weight gain in around 28%. Most participants reported that they consumed home-cooked (73%) and healthy meals (47%), while only 7% reported that they consumed foods from restaurants. Feelings of boredom and emptiness (44%) and the availability of time for preparing meals (40%) were the main reasons for changing dietary habits. Honey (43%) and vitamin C (50%) were the most consumed immune-boosting food and dietary supplement, respectively. COVID-19 also had a negative impact on physical activity, lowering the practice in 52% subjects, which was associated with significant weight gain (p < 0.001). Conclusion Assessing the changes to the population’s dietary habits and physical activity during the lockdown will help predict the outcome of the population’s future health and wellbeing after the pandemic.

The Impact

The principle of the organization of prisons (Lembaga Pemasyarakatan/ LAPAS) must prioritize a humane approach so that prisoners and prisoners receive their rights. If the implementation is good, the objective of LAPAS is to carry out social reintegration, namely the restoration of the unity of life, life and livelihood of prisoners and correctional students both prisoners as individuals, social beings and God's creatures with society can be achieved. However, this organization faces obstacles, namely the problem of overcapacity. This can have implications for suboptimal and can even lead to failure to function as a correctional institution. The problem of over capacity will also have an impact on the health conditions of prisoners. Sleep conditions, eating patterns, health services that are less than the maximum due to over capacity will certainly have a negative impact on the nutritional status of prisoners. This study aims to determine the impact of Overcapacity Impacts on the Nutritional Status Level of Prisoners in Class II A Penitentiary, Sidoarjo. This type of research is a quantitative correlational analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. The number of samples was 91 inmates. The sampling technique is by random sampling. Data is collected by weighing body weight and height and comparing with ideal body weight. The results showed that the more overcapacity, the nutritional status of prisoners decreased. Room conditions can affect the provision of an unbalanced diet. Thus, that this causes the prisoners to experience malnutrition.

This study evaluated the preferences of general dentists regarding vital and nonvital tooth bleaching therapies and investigated whether the time of clinical practice and post-graduate training influence these options. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire with closed questions applied to dentists (n=276) of a mid-sized city of the southern Brazil (Pelotas, RS). Information was collected regarding sociodemographic variables, level of specialization and time since graduation. In addition, options regarding bleaching therapies including the first choice of material, technique and clinical practice for vital and nonvital tooth bleaching therapies were included. Data were submitted to descriptive analysis and the associations were evaluated using chi-square and Fisher exact tests (α=0.05). The response rate was 68% (n=187). At-home bleaching therapy was broadly preferred (78.1%) over in-office (21.9%) bleaching. For at-home bleaching, most dentists answered to use 10% carbamide peroxide (CP) (40.2%) and >30% hydrogen peroxide (HP) (31.7%) for nonvital therapies. The majority of dentists with post-graduation training preferred at-home bleaching techniques (p=0.003). At-home bleaching therapy was also more indicated by younger dentists. No association was found between the choice for nonvital bleaching therapies and time since graduation (p=0.532) or continuous education (p=0.083). In conclusion, at-home bleaching was preferred over in-office therapies; 10% CP and >30% HP were chosen as first option agents to treat discolored vital and nonvital teeth, respectively. The time in clinical practice and the level of specialization affected dentists' choices only for vital tooth bleaching treatment.

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused people to shelter-at-home for an extended period, resulting in a sudden rise in unstructured time. This unexpected disruption in everyday life has raised concerns about weight management, especially in high-risk populations of women and individuals with overweight and obesity. This study aimed to investigate the changes in behaviors that may impact energy intake and/or energy expenditure in U.S. adults during the home confinement.MethodsCross-sectional data from 1,779 adults were collected using an online Qualtrics survey between April 24th and May 4th, 2020. Self-reported data on demographics, eating behaviors, physical activity, sleep, screen time, takeout food intake, and food purchasing behaviors were collected. Chi-Square analyses were conducted to evaluate differences in the percent of participants reporting increasing, decreasing, or staying the same in each health behavior since the COVID-19 outbreak in their area. Each analysis was followed by comparing whether increases or decreases were more likely for each health behavior. Similar comparisons were made between male and female participants and between body mass index (BMI) categories.ResultsWe observed an increase in the intake of both healthy and energy-dense unhealthy foods and snacks during the home confinement. Participants also reported increases in sedentary activities and decrease in physical activity, alcohol intake, and consumption of takeout meals during this time. In women, several behavioral changes support greater energy intake and less energy expenditure than men. No clear difference in patterns was observed across BMI status.ConclusionAcute changes in behaviors underscore the significance of a sudden increase in unstructured time at home on potential weight gain. Our findings support the need to implement and support measures that promote strategies to maintain body weight and establish a methodology to collect body weight data at multiple time points to longitudinally assess the dynamic relationship between behaviors and body weight change.

Abstract Background Abusive alcohol intake is associated with noncommunicable diseases that exert a financial impact on public healthcare systems throughout the world. Alcohol affects the absorption of nutrients and plasma levels of fatty acids and exerts a negative impact on food consumption. Objective Determine the regular consumption (≥ 5 days/week) of healthy and unhealthy foods in adults (≥ 20 years) according to binge drinking and sex. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with data from the Surveillance System of Risk and Protection Factors for Chronic Diseases of the 2016 Vigitel telephone survey conducted by the Brazilian Health Ministry. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results Information from 32,195 women and 19,490 men was analyzed, with binge drinking reported in 11.95% and 27.85%, respectively. Lower regular consumption of fruit (OR: 0.80; 95%CI: 0.69-0.92) and milk (OR: 0.82; 95%CI: 0.72-0.94) as well as greater consumption of red meat (OR: 1.27; 95%CI: 1.10-1.46) were found among the men who reported binge drinking. Lower regular consumption of natural juice (OR: 0.79; 95%CI: 0.67-0.93), fruit (OR: 0.64; 95%CI: 0.55-0.75) and milk (OR: 0.70; 95%CI: 0.60-0.82) as well as greater consumption of red meat (OR: 1.35; 95%CI: 1.14-1.59) and soft drinks/artificial juice (OR: 1.55; 95%CI: 1.24-1.94) were found among the women who reported binge drinking. Regarding sex, women consumed more raw vegetables (OR: 1.50; 95%CI: 1.24-1.82), cooked vegetables (OR: 1.79; 95%CI: 1.44-2.21), fruit (OR: 1.28; 95%CI: 1.07-1.55) and sweets (OR: 1.35; 95%CI: 1.05-1.72) as well as less red meat (OR: 0.71; 95%CI: 0.59-0.86) than men who also engaged in binge drinking. Conclusions Binge drinking was associated with a lower frequency of the regular consumption of healthy foods, such as fruit, vegetables and milk, as well as a greater consumption of red meat, soft drinks and sweets. Key messages Alcohol exerts a negative impact on food consumption. Abusive alcohol intake is associated with noncommunicable diseases.

   In order for reducing the epidemic  Covid-19, government issued policies such as physical distancing, social distancing, and large-scale social editing (PSBB). This condition requires people to limit their activities, to stay at home, to study, work, and limit their activities at home. The education sector such as schools need to adjust the learning process gradually, directly into bold learning that can be done in the homes of individual students. This policy has a negative impact due to the implementation of the learning process at home where the learning time limit is not clear. Teachers and students experience various disturbances in the learning process such as limited tools, lack of communication, and readiness to face the online learning process. Which has an impact on children's psychological, decreasing the quality of children's skills to reduce socialization. Post-Covid Pandemic Schools is a project designed how schools adapt to this situation. Schools with social distancing protocols in classrooms and their environment, new student-centered learning methods, namely student-centered learning systems and teachers as their companions. This project is expected to provide a safe and comfortable place to study in the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic. The school will aim at Education 4.0, namely the school of flexibility and creativity, across fields remotely for learners. Keywords: Online Learning; Covid Pandemic; Education 4.0 ; Social Distancing ABSTRAKSebagai upaya untuk mengurangi penyebaran virus Covid-19, pemerintah mengeluarkan kebijakan seperti physical distancing, social distancing, hingga pembatasan social berskala besar (PSBB). Kondisi ini mengharuskan masyarakat untuk membatasi aktivitasnya yaitu untuk tetap di rumah, belajar,  bekerja, dan beribadah di rumah. Sektor pendidikan seperti sekolah perlu menyesuaikan proses pembelajarannya yaitu dari secara tatap muka langsung menjadi pembelajaran secara daring yang bisa dilakukan di rumah masing-masing siswa. Kebijakan ini menimbulkan beberapa dampak negative karena penerapan proses pembelajaran di rumah yang tidak jelasnya batas waktu belajar. Guru dan siswa mengalami berbagai gangguan dalam proses belajar seperti keterbatasan alat, berkurangnya komunikasi, serta kesiapan menghadapi proses pembelajaran online. Yang berdampak pada psikologis anak, menurunnya kualitas keterampilan anak hingga berkurangnya sosialisasi. Sekolah Pasca Pandemi Covid adalah sebuah proyek yang dirancang bagaimana sekolah beradaptasi menghadapi situasi ini. Sekolah yang menjalan protokol social distancing pada kelas dan lingkungannya, metode pembelajaran yang baru student-centered learning yaitu sistem pembelajaran yang berpusat kepada murid dan guru sebagai pendampingnya. Proyek ini diharapkan bisa  menyediakan tempat belajar yang aman dan nyaman disaat kondisi pandemic Covid-19. Sekolah akan kearah Edukasi 4.0 yaitu fleksibilitas dan kretivitas, lintas bidang secara jarak jauh untuk pembelajar sekolah.
