“…Working from home can cause people to feel isolated, and loneliness can lead to depression and other mental health issues. This is in line with consolidated literature [32][33][34][35] and more recent surveys which have revealed the rising levels of mental health problems among workers [78,79]. Strictly related to the above concept, the concept of technostress emerged from the analysis, which affects in a negative way the social sustainability of teleworking practices.…”

Due to the spread of COVID-19, new challenges and opportunities for business innovation have emerged, including the way work is organized and designed. In particular, pandemic created the conditions for the most extensive mass teleworking experiment in history. While there is a wide literature on the effects of teleworking as a business innovation, mainly from an environmental perspective, there are few studies investigating the public perceptions regarding teleworking and, in particular, studies that draw from social media analyses. Based on these considerations, a big data analysis has been carried out in order to frame the public perceptions about teleworking on Twitter. The six-months sentiment analysis of about 11,000 tweets shows that the ecological value of telework is not perceived by people; surprisingly, in a pandemic context of growing ecological concern, there is no significant evidence of environmental awareness in relation to teleworking. However, the positive and negative concepts which emerge in relation to teleworking and similar terms can be assimilated to the benefits and pitfalls highlighted in the literature, which are related to economic or social sustainability. This has important implications for practice in organizations employing teleworking, which are highlighted in the conclusion, together with the limitations and future research avenues.

“…With regard to the proportion of females and males, in studies on adults, an almost equal distribution-meaning a percentage of females of 45-55-was found in six studies [32,33,75,80,82,91]. Twelve studies had a higher percentage of females [69,72,73,77,79,81,83,85,90,94,96,99], and only one study (two articles) had a higher percentage of males [70,71].…”

“…Different sampling approaches were used. Seven studies recruited adults from the general population via community registers [69,75,78,79,82,90,91]. Six studies enrolled adult participants from previous, ongoing studies [32,33,77,80,83,85].…”

“…In studies on adults, the mean (or median) age ranged from 49.0 to 64.6 years (if reported) [69][70][71][72][73]77,82,96]. Two studies in the elderly reported a mean age of 67 years [75] and 74.5 years [91]. Four studies researched participants with a very narrow age span, as they were drawn from specific birth year cohorts (in 1936 [33] and 1970 [80]) or class years [83,85].…”

“…In regard to lockdown measures, eleven studies specified concrete general actions taken, e.g., "stay-at-home" orders, the requirement to work from home, closure of cultural and sports facilities and other non-essential businesses, closure of educational institutions, quarantine/isolation requirements in case (of a suspicion) of COVID-19 infection, travel restrictions, social distancing rules, prohibition of gatherings (social and public), etc. [32,69,75,[78][79][80]82,83,92,94]. Four studies on children and adolescents focussed on lockdown measures for this age group [86,87,89,93].…”

Preceding coronavirus outbreaks resulted in social isolation, which in turn is associated with cardiovascular consequences. Whether the current COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacts cardiovascular health is unclear. The aim of the rapid review was to investigate, whether COVID-19 lockdown influences modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (i.e., physical inactivity, sedentary behaviour, smoking, alcohol use, unhealthy diet, obesity, bad blood lipids, and hypertension) in the general population. Medline and EMBASE were searched until March 2021. Title, abstracts, and full texts were screened by one reviewer and 20% by a second reviewer. Only studies using probability sampling were included in order to ensure the representativeness of the target population. Data extraction and critical appraisal were done by one reviewer and double-checked by another reviewer. We identified 32 studies that fulfilled our inclusion criteria. Findings show that physical activity decreased, and sedentary behaviour increased among all age groups during the COVID-19 lockdown. Among adults, alcohol consumption increased, dietary quality worsened, and the amount of food intake increased. Some adults reported weight gain. Studies on children and adolescents were sparse. This rapid review found a high number of epidemiological studies on the impact of COVID-19 lockdown measures on modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, but only a few used probability sampling methods.
