The Japanese Government declared a state of emergency in April 2020, which resulted in reduced physical activity. This study investigated the impact of these lifestyle changes by generation among outpatients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In autumn 2020, we conducted a questionnaire survey of 1,156 CVD outpatients who visited the Department of Cardiology at our institution. The survey collected data on physical activities and changes in daily behaviors over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were classified into 3 age groups: middle-aged (n=114, ≤64 years old), semi-old (n=330, aged 65-74 years old), and old (n=712, ≥75 years old).

However, there were no significant differences in the extent of changes in steps per day or sedentary time over the study period across all age groups. Regarding changes in daily behaviors, only the old-age group reported a decline in volunteering and reduced utilization of daycare services.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in changes in daily activities and lifestyles across all age groups.

ODK was measured across four syllable tasks (/pa/, /ta/, /ka/, and /pataka/), which were evaluated using coefficient of variation (CV) values. Low CV values indicate superior performance. Potential confounders, including the cognitive function, sleep status, body mass index, instrumental activities of daily living, and physical function, were controlled.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Five participants (20.8%) experienced depression.

This finding implies that a decline in the oral function in articulating /ta/ and /ka/ syllables may precede other common depressive symptoms.
