This study aims to evaluate the eating and behavioral habits of the population of Parauapebas (PA) during social isolation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodology used was a quali-quantitative cross-sectional study. An online form was applied, consisting of open and closed questions, in which 472 valid responses were obtained from participants of both sexes, 26.27% (n=124) male and 73.72% (n=348) female, aged between 18 and 60 years. The forms contained questions about age, gender, race, education, height, body weight before and after isolation, neighborhood where they live, emotional state, eating and behavioral habits. The survey results indicated that the pandemic contributed to changes in habits and behaviors associated with emotional factors such as stress and anxiety. Most frequently reported by the research subjects that culminated in dietary changes in the participants' lives. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that the isolation resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic may have a direct relationship with changes in eating habits with emotional factors, enhancing this entire context.
