“…With an increase in education levels (highest completed degree), students allocate more time to SA and ES activities and relatively less time to PA activities during the lockdown than before lockdown. The finding conflicts with previous research conducted among Brazilian ( Silva et al, 2020 ) and Belgian ( Constandt et al, 2020 ) adults. It was reported that adults with a higher degree were more physically active during the pandemic period.…”

“…Regarding the household variables, an addition of a family member corresponds to a 0.041 min increase and a 0.032 min decrease in the time spent in PA and SA activities, respectively. This correlation could indicate a more critical requirement for more household duties of light physical intensity when many family members live together ( Silva et al, 2020 ), thus limiting their unstructured leisure time. The presence of children in households (possibly married students) negatively influences the time spent in PA activities, which is in line with the observations of Constandt et al (2020) , who carried out a study on Belgian adults.…”

“…Gender, age group, highest academic achievement, and skin color were found to influence eating habits. Silva et al (2020) performed a study similar to Werneck et al (2020) but explicitly focused on Brazilian adults with a chronic disease.…”

“…A total of 20 studies reported on PA during the pandemic [ 18 , 20 , 24 , 26 - 29 , 33 - 45 ], and 35% (7/20) of these studies [ 28 , 33 , 38 , 40 - 43 ] reported on continual or increase in PA among the participants in their studies. Disruptions in routines, fear of going outdoors, lack of motivation, as well as increased anxiety and stress during COVID-19 led to the decline in PA in 65% (13/20) of these studies [ 18 , 20 , 24 , 26 , 27 , 29 , 34 - 37 , 39 , 44 , 45 ].…”

Background Self-care behaviors are essential for people living with chronic conditions; however, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed additional complications on their daily routines. Few studies have analyzed how self-care behaviors have changed during COVID-19 and the role of digital technology, especially among people with chronic conditions. Objective This study aims to review how self-care behaviors have changed for people with chronic conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic, and what technology they have adopted to manage their conditions during that period. Methods A systematic review was conducted using narrative synthesis. Data were extracted from PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Google Scholar, including articles from December 2019 onward. Eligible studies focused on adults diagnosed with chronic conditions undertaking any self-care tasks in line with the middle-range theory of self-care of chronic illness (ie, self-care maintenance, monitoring, and management). The methodological quality of the included articles was assessed with the McMaster Critical Review Forms for Quantitative or Qualitative Studies. Results In total, 36 primary research articles were included. Changes to self-care behaviors during COVID-19 among people with chronic conditions were organized according to the middle-range theory of self-care of chronic illness focusing on self-care maintenance (ie, medication adherence, physical activity, and diet control), self-care monitoring (ie, monitoring signs and symptoms), and self-care management (ie, consultations with health care providers). Positive self-care behaviors observed include the following: individuals trying to maintain good glycemic control during COVID-19 increased their medication adherence in 27% (10/36) of studies; and diet control improved in 50% (18/36) of studies. Negative self-care behaviors observed include the following: decline in physical activities and increased sedentariness were observed in 65% (23/36) of studies; poor diet control was observed in 57% (21/36) of studies; and self-monitoring of health status dropped in 43% (15/36) of studies. The use of technology to support self-care of chronic conditions during COVID-19 was reported in 72% (26/36) of studies. The actual use of telehealth in place of physical consultations during COVID-19 was observed in 50% (18/36) of studies, and other digital technologies (eg, social media apps, smartphone apps, web-based platforms, and web browsing) were used in 50% (18/36) of studies. Telehealth was discussed and recommended as the default technology in delivering future health care services during COVID-19 and beyond in 77% (28/36) of studies. Conclusions This review highlighted the necessity to rethink how models of self-care should continue to address the demands of chronic conditions while being responsive to the imminent threats of infectious diseases. Perhaps the silver lining of COVID-19 is that adoption of digital technology (especially telehealth) among a vast cross-section of people with chronic conditions is possible. Future research should investigate effective ways to incorporate evidence-based digital health tools into these new models of self-care that address the challenges of chronic and infectious conditions.

“…According to research conducted in the United Kingdom during the same period which looked at the differences depending on age and gender, young people tended to spend less time than the elderly on high- and moderate- intensity physical activities after social distancing [ 15 ]. Also, it reported that differences were found in physical activity by age and gender, as shown in males who were found to be less engaged in physical activities than females [ 15 , 16 ]. In addition, subjects were less likely to carry out physical activities during the lockdown period than during the social distancing period.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine changes in physical activity in Korean society, after the outbreak of COVID-19. Method This study was conducted using the Korean Community Health Survey conducted in 2019 and 2020. Subjects that have been diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes were excluded; a total of 355,914 cases were involved for analysis. In terms of the analysis method, General Linear Model (GLM) was conducted to examine the changes in physical activities in 2019 and 2020 depending on the presence of a spouse, educational status, and economic activities. In addition, the GLM was adopted to divide the subjects by gender and age, and analyze their physical activity changes in 2019 and 2020 with spouse presence, educational status, and economic activities as adjusted variables. Result In terms of Koreans, those without a spouse, high educational attainment, and economically inactive were less engaged in physical activities. Differences were found in subjects regarding moderate-intensity physical activities after social distancing following the spread of COVID-19. Senior females without a spouse, both males and females with low educational attainment, economically inactive adult females, and economically active senior males showed a greater drop in physical activities. For walking hours, both adult males and females without a spouse, adult females with all educational attainment level excluding elementary and middle school graduates, and economically inactive adult males and females also showed a downward trend. Conclusion The study recommends that people develop a strategy to increase their post-outbreak physical activity, taking into account the sociodemographic.
