A pesquisa teve um caráter quantitativo, exploratório e descritivo. A amostra foi composta por 32 mulheres com idade entre 46 e 59 anos.

Como resultados observou-se um maior percentual de participantes de cor branca (93,75%), casados (87,5%), com ensino superior (46,88) e de classe econômica A (59,38%). Verifiou-se ainda que 53,12% praticarvam exercícios físicos e 62,5% tiveram alteração de peso durante a pandemia. De acordo com as subscalas do DASS-21, a maioria das participantes se encontrava com scores indicativos de estresse leve (56,25%), ansiedade leve (53,12%) e níveis de depressão dentro da normalidade (56,25%).
