Abstract

Background: Studies prove that individuals' psychological and physiological health is affected during lockdown which is due to their loss of autonomy, fear of disease, and reduced physical activity. Objective: The objective of this study was to find the possible impact that an individual's lifestyle has on his physiological and psychological status during this lockdown. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire was designed with questions interrogating their demographics and assessing their lifestyle, hobbies, their stress level, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and how they spent their time during this lockdown. The self-administered questionnaire was circulated online to people of both genders on all platforms. Results: The results showed that those who smoke were more distressed and experienced more pain than those who do not (P < 0.05). People with elevated blood pressure, diabetes, and other musculoskeletal pain were more stressed and experienced more pain and fatigue than those who were healthy (P < 0.005). People who practiced exercising and yoga were less stressed and stayed active with less or no pain and discomfort than the sedentary people (P < 0.05). Those who spend their time gardening and housekeeping felt healthier and more emotionally stable than the others (P < 0.05). The emotional disturbance had a weak positive significant correlation with onscreen time, sleep duration, and activities of daily living (ADL) limitation. Pain severity and fatigue had a weak positive significant correlation with onscreen time, sleep duration, and ADL limitation. Conclusion: People with increased physical activity and habit of regular exercise, yoga, and meditation were psychologically and physiologically healthier and were less affected by lockdown than the people with a sedentary lifestyle.
封城期间生活方式对个体心理和生理状况的影响
背景:研究证明,在封锁期间,个人的心理和生理健康受到影响,这是由于他们失去自主性,害怕疾病,减少身体活动。目的:本研究的目的是发现在封锁期间个人的生活方式对其生理和心理状态的可能影响。材料和方法:设计了一份调查问卷,询问他们的人口统计数据,评估他们的生活方式、爱好、压力水平、肌肉骨骼疼痛、疲劳,以及他们在封锁期间如何度过时间。这份自我填写的问卷在所有平台上在线分发给男女用户。结果:吸烟组比不吸烟组有更大的焦虑感和疼痛感(P < 0.05)。患有高血压、糖尿病和其他肌肉骨骼疼痛的人比健康的人压力更大,经历了更多的疼痛和疲劳(P < 0.005)。与久坐不动的人相比,锻炼和瑜伽的人压力更小,保持活跃,疼痛和不适更少或没有(P < 0.05)。那些把时间花在园艺和家务上的人比其他人感觉更健康,情绪更稳定(P < 0.05)。情绪障碍与屏幕时间、睡眠时间和日常生活活动(ADL)限制呈弱正显著相关。疼痛严重程度和疲劳程度与屏幕时间、睡眠时间和ADL限制呈弱正显著相关。结论:与久坐不动的人相比,体力活动增加、有规律锻炼、瑜伽和冥想习惯的人在心理和生理上更健康,受封锁的影响更小。
