A total of 600 professionals (including teachers and administrative technicians) were longitudinally evaluated in 2022 and 2023. Four validated questionnaires were used: the WHOQOL-bref to assess quality of life (QoL), the DASS-21 for mental health, the Back-PEI for physical activity, and PeNSE for dietary markers. The statistical analysis included Relative Risk (\n                    <jats:italic>RR<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) tests and adjusted analysis using a Poisson regression model with robust variance. The main findings indicate that women exhibit poorer QoL in the physical domain (\n                    <jats:italic>RRadj<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20091.19, p\u2009=\u20090.005) and psychological domain (\n                    <jats:italic>RRadj<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20091.14, p\u2009=\u20090.045). Being employed and over 60 years old is a protective factor for QoL in the psychological domain (\n                    <jats:italic>RRadj<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.67; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The regular consumption of ultraprocessed foods is a risk factor for QoL all domains (\n                    <jats:italic>RRadj<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u20091.15, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Irregular consumption of vegetables\/greens (\n                    <jats:italic>RRadj<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u20091.11, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) and fruits (\n                    <jats:italic>RRadj<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u20091.10, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) indicated a risk of low QoL. Participants with low frequency or no physical activity had a higher risk of worse quality of life scores across all domains (\n                    <jats:italic>RRadj<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u20091.20; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Exposure to television for 5 hours or more during the day was a risk factor for low QoL in the physical domain (\n                    <jats:italic>RRadj<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20091.33, p\u2009=\u20090.005) and social relationships (\n                    <jats:italic>RRadj<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20091.32, p\u2009=\u20090.003). Computer use was not associated with QoL (p\u2009&gt;\u20090.05). Higher frequency of alcohol consumption was associated with higher scores in the social relationships domain (\n                    <jats:italic>RRadj<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.83, p\u2009=\u20090.037). Regarding mental health, depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms were associated with low QoL across all domains (\n                    <jats:italic>RRadj<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u20091.33, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) in both men and women.
