In 2020, a new coronavirus strain led to the declaration by the World Health Organization (WHO) of a pandemic global event. With an expansion pandemic to several territories, the involvement of risk groups started to be significantly more evident than healthier patients. Categorized individuals as obese, diagnosed diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2), and high blood pressure are shown to be more susceptible to severe cases than other individuals,
reinforcing even more the greater prevalence of those diseases in our modern world. In the short period since COVID-19 onset cases, few studies could manage to address the diagnostics or even development of long-term symptoms, which sometimes take years to be noticed or start its natural clinic course. With studies showing the
possibility of symptoms occurrence or serious deepening of metabolic syndrome in post-infected patients, the health education process aims to establish ways to create and raise awareness about maintaining life quality and healthy eating habits to contribute to a reduction of negative impacts long-term wise caused by a previous metabolic
syndrome or started after COVID-19 infection. The extension project focused then on posterior complication development prevention caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection by encouraging a quality lifestyle. The educational booklets and attendance satisfaction questionnaires were tools for better clarification about how to make those quality lifestyle
changes, besides the multidisciplinary attention as an aid to consolidate the health education to the patients. In this way, members of this project sought to foment research activities about this field with still few population studies, encouraging to consolidate the knowledge about the clinical course of this virus. Having contact amongst project members and patients, the construction of relations occurred bilaterally, with intercommunication between academic knowledge and cultural values, bringing a better future change to the patients.
