Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine how the pandemic changed the lifestyle of young women and men from Central Poland. The material consisted of data from students at Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw and the University of Lodz. A total of 498 people were examined, including 370 women and 128 men. An online survey was used and questions were asked about changes in nutrition, physical activity and use of stimulants, health status and stress levels. The questions referred to two periods before the pandemic and during the pandemic. The respondents were also asked to provide their body weight and height before and during the pandemic, which were used to calculate the Body Mass Index. The Pearson chi2 test and the Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA tests were used, p < 0.05. There were statistically significant differences between sexes in dietary supplementation before and during the pandemic and in changes in body weight during the pandemic, portion size and an increase in the share of processed foods in the diet, as well as in the case of self-assessment of the physical activity level, intensity of stress level and consumption of alcoholic beverages. The analyzed factors influenced BMI exclusively in women and encompassed variations in portion sizes as well as alterations in alcohol consumption patterns. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed the lifestyle of young adults. Significant differences between the sexes were observed in relation to some of the factors studied, which could be caused by different needs, social maturity, or psychological differences between the sexes.

2019冠状病毒病大流行期间波兰中部青年男女生活方式的差异
这项研究的目的是确定这种流行病如何改变波兰中部年轻男女的生活方式。这些材料包括来自华沙红衣主教斯蒂芬·维辛斯基大学和罗兹大学的学生的数据。共有498人接受了调查,其中包括370名女性和128名男性。他们进行了一项在线调查,询问了有关营养、体育活动和兴奋剂使用、健康状况和压力水平变化的问题。这些问题涉及大流行病之前和大流行病期间的两个时期。受访者还被要求提供他们在大流行之前和期间的体重和身高,这些数据用于计算体重指数。采用Pearson chi2检验和Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA检验,p < 0.05。在大流行之前和期间的膳食补充方面,在大流行期间的体重变化、份量大小和加工食品在饮食中所占比例的增加方面,以及在自我评估身体活动水平、压力程度和酒精饮料消费量方面,性别之间存在统计学上的显著差异。所分析的因素仅影响女性的BMI,包括份量的变化以及饮酒模式的改变。2019冠状病毒病大流行极大地改变了年轻人的生活方式。在研究的一些因素中,可以观察到性别之间的显著差异,这些因素可能是由不同的需求、社会成熟度或性别之间的心理差异引起的。
