Background: To investigate the changes in lifestyle and mental conditions during the COVID-19 lockdown pre- and post-COVID-19 epidemic by analysing 0.1 million in the general population.

Methods: A questionnaire was used to collect demographic, lifestyle and mental condition information. Descriptive and χ2 tests were utilized to analyse the differences among the three groups. Multiple linear regression models were used to assess the impact of mental status.

Results: This study involved a total of 141 250 participants, with 68 533 individuals in 2019 (pre-COVID-19), 53 956 in 2021 (lockdown period) and 18 761 in 2023 (post-COVID-19). During the period of lockdown and post-COVID-19, there was a significant decrease in the proportion of male smokers, decreasing from 39.2% before the epidemic to 36.6% during the lockdown period and to 34.8% after the epidemic. The proportion of people with good dietary habits increased slightly during the lockdown period (71.2% vs 68.4%) and remained at 71.8% after the epidemic. The 30- to 39-y age group had the greatest increase in engaging in physical activity. Multiple regression analysis showed that mental health status is associated with age, gender, dietary habits, physical activity and sleeping condition.

Conclusions: The general population is well adapted to the COVID-19 epidemic and can actively face the impact of the epidemic. Furthermore, the alarm triggered by the outbreak has cause people pay more attention to a healthy lifestyle.

10万中国人的生活方式和心理健康趋势：一项新冠肺炎前后的纵向研究

背景：通过对10万普通人群的分析，调查COVID-19封锁前后生活方式和精神状况的变化。方法：采用问卷调查法收集人口统计、生活方式、精神状况等信息。采用描述性检验和χ2检验对三组间的差异进行分析。采用多元线性回归模型评估心理状态的影响。结果：本研究共涉及14250名参与者，其中2019年（covid -19前）68533人，2021年（封锁期）53956人，2023年（covid -19后）18761人。在封锁期间和疫情后，男性吸烟者的比例明显下降，从疫情前的39.2%下降到封锁期间的36.6%，疫情后下降到34.8%。饮食习惯良好的人口比例在封锁期间略有上升（71.2% vs 68.4%），疫情后保持在71.8%。30至39岁年龄组参加体育活动的人数增加最多。多元回归分析显示，心理健康状况与年龄、性别、饮食习惯、身体活动和睡眠状况有关。结论：普通人群对新冠肺炎疫情适应能力较好，能够积极面对疫情影响。此外，疫情引发的恐慌使人们更加关注健康的生活方式。
