“…Esto es coherente con lo encontrado por Borrega-Mouquinho et al (2021), quienes comprobaron una mejoría en la actividad física e, incluso, en la ansiedad, depresión, el estrés y la resiliencia, en quienes participaron en su programa de ejercicio, de moderada y alta intensidad, transmitido por YouTube durante el confinamiento.

En marzo de 2020, la pandemia de la COVID-19 hizo que, a lo largo del mundo, muchos países adoptaran medidas basadas en confinamientos domiciliarios. El objetivo era detener la propagación, así como la crisis hospitalaria y las muertes derivadas de la infección por SARS-CoV-2. Las personas tuvieron que reajustar sus hábitos de vida para adaptarse a la nueva situación. El objetivo principal de esta investigación fue evaluar la percepción poblacional sobre los cambios en el estilo de vida experimentados durante su confinamiento domiciliario en torno a cuatro parámetros: (a) su alimentación, (b) la frecuencia/intensidad de ejercicio físico, (c) el estado emocional y (d) el uso de medios digitales de salud digital (eSalud). Con este objetivo, el 31 de marzo y el 1 de abril, se envió el enlace de una encuesta diseñada en Formularios de Google a través de WhatsApp. Se reclutó una muestra de 320 participantes, con edades comprendidas entre los 15 y los 78 años (=32.97; s=11.51), residentes de distintos países americanos y europeos, principalmente de República Dominicana (73.8%) y España (17.2%). Los resultados evidenciaron, respecto a la alimentación, que el 27,2% sentía que su alimentación había empeorado (37.8% que era igual, mientras que 35,0% que incluso había mejorado); en cuanto al ejercicio, 52.5% manifestaba que había disminuido su frecuencia / intensidad (23.1% que era igual, mientras que 24.4% que había aumentado); a nivel emocional, 34.4% señaló que había empeorado (51.6% que era igual, mientras que 14.0% que era más positivo). Se observó una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre los cambios en el uso de herramientas de eSalud en la alimentación (c2[4, n = 320]= 11.75, p =. 019) y el ejercicio físico (c2 [4, n= 320] = 85.35, p =.000). No se observó asociación estadísticamente significativa entre los cambios emocionales y en el uso de herramientas de eSalud.

As digital healthcare services are expanding in use and purpose in a Danish context so are the functionalities embedded in these, constituting citizens’ access to healthcare services and personal health data. In Denmark, the impact of inequalities in digital healthcare remains largely unexplored, making it crucial to pay close attention to this aspect as the digital transformation of the sector progresses. According to the Danish Health Act (2019), the Danish healthcare system is required to ensure easy and equal access to healthcare, high-quality treatment, coherent patient pathways, freedom of choice, easy access to information, transparency, and short waiting times for every citizen. These are focal law-based requirements influenced by the digitalisation of healthcare. Hence, based on insights from a highly digitalised country, in this case, Denmark, this paper aims to initiate a discussion on inequities in digital healthcare, address current challenges, and consider future directions by elaborating on conceptual, ethical, evidence-informed, and methodological issues linked to inequities in digital healthcare. Specifically, this paper discusses why inequities in digital healthcare in a Danish context need increased attention, how health equity is embedded in Danish legislation and how it can be approached from an ethical perspective. The central focus revolves around the essential principles of empowerment, emancipation, and equity, which are being highlighted to emphasise that the digitalisation of healthcare should actively work towards preventing and avoiding the perpetuation of healthcare inequalities. The paper concludes by discussing future directions for ensuring a more sustainable, robust, and equitable digital healthcare system.

“…For university students, interpersonal relations are, without a doubt, a cornerstone of their lifestyle and one of the greatest impacts of lockdown in young people has been an increase in the time spent using technologies to maintain social relations. However, the excessive time spent using digital screens has also negatively impacted young people's emotional state (Belmonte et al, 2021;Kanstrup et al, 2020;Sánchez et al, 2021).…”

During the 2020 stay-at-home lockdown ordered as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, university students had access to diverse digital technologies, which offered researchers the opportunity to study changes in their lifestyles while they occurred and to classify them into groups according to such lifestyles. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to establish a typology of university students according to the lifestyles they followed during the lockdown, based on the study of their daily routines, emotional state, media consumption habits and use of apps. The study is based on a sample of 913 Spanish university students. Data has been processed with SPSS 28.0 and SPAD 5.0. The following six groups were identified by using factor analysis and multiple correspondence analysis: 1) the fearless and adapted (21%); 2) the unhealthy (22.56%); 3) the hardworking and studious (27.93%); 4) the hyperconnected (9.09%); 5) the sedentary and withdrawn (13.85%); and 6) the athletic and healthy (6.68%). The use of apps for social relations is shown as a relevant construct, in relation to other indicators such as emotional state, time spent on studies, leisure, family and physical activity. The lifestyles observed exhibit differences with respect to sports activity, eating habits and rest routines, as well as time spent on academic and professional activities. Key Words: Physical activity, Pandemic, Emotional state, Digital behavior.
