Abstract

Background/objectives: There are concerns about the adverse health effects of behavioral changes linked to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We conducted a survey to investigate changes in lifestyle habits, including exercise and eating, during the COVID-19 pandemic and their association with changes in weight.

Subjects/methods: We conducted a survey of 5,000 people in Hakui City, Japan, to assess their lifestyles and diets during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 3,992 complete responses were received. We also obtained pre- and post-pandemic health check-up data for 704 of the respondents. These health data were combined with the results of the questionnaire survey to identify factors associated with weight changes. Data were analyzed for 704 individuals.

Results: The mean body mass index was 22.5 ± 3.1 kg/m2 for respondents whose weight did not change and 25.1 ± 2.7 kg/m2 for respondents whose weight increased. The pre-pandemic mean values for abdominal circumference in females and for gamma-glutamyl transferase in males tended to be higher in those whose weight increased. Those with decreased weight tended to be older. Respondents who were already overweight were more likely to gain weight because of COVID-19-related changes in their lifestyle. In males, alcohol consumption was directly associated with weight, and in females, abdominal circumference was more important.

Conclusion: The study found pre-pandemic overweight individuals likely gained more weight during it, with alcohol consumption being a significant factor for males. Weight loss was more crucial for those over 70, rather than weight gain.

在 COVID-19 大流行期间,从成年人到老年人各年龄组的行为和体重变化的相关因素。
背景/目标:人们担心与 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)相关的行为变化会对健康产生不利影响。我们进行了一项调查,研究 COVID-19 流行期间生活习惯(包括运动和饮食)的变化及其与体重变化的关系:我们对日本白井市的 5000 名居民进行了调查,以评估他们在 COVID-19 大流行期间的生活方式和饮食情况。共收到 3,992 份完整答卷。我们还获得了其中 704 名受访者在大流行前后的健康检查数据。我们将这些健康数据与问卷调查结果相结合,以确定与体重变化相关的因素。对 704 人的数据进行了分析:结果:体重没有变化的受访者的平均体重指数为 22.5 ± 3.1 kg/m2,体重增加的受访者的平均体重指数为 25.1 ± 2.7 kg/m2。大流行前女性腹围和男性γ-谷氨酰转移酶的平均值往往高于体重增加者。体重下降的受访者往往年龄较大。已经超重的受访者更有可能因为 COVID-19 导致的生活方式改变而体重增加。在男性中,饮酒量与体重直接相关,而在女性中,腹围更为重要:研究发现,大流行前超重的人在大流行期间体重可能会增加,而饮酒是男性体重增加的一个重要因素。对于 70 岁以上的人来说,体重减轻比体重增加更重要。
