“…The present study results reveal expected changes in the daily lifestyle of questioned participants, especially those aged 18-41. The results are not surprising because of schools and universities closures, the lack of face-to-face interaction with peers and co-workers, increased stress for many families and forced change of professional work mode [17]. Moreover, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on daily lifestyle reported by the majority of individuals who worked hybrid and remote system is an evidence that such modification of workstyle turned out to be one of the most significant change in many people's lives.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, including social isolation, movement restrictions and work instability have altered many people’s nutritional behaviors and daily lifestyle. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on selected eating habits, physical activity and daily lifestyle changes of Polish adults (n = 145). The self-designed and anonymous questionnaire was available online from the 1 May 2021 to the 15 May 2021. In general, 60% of respondents declared that the COVID-19 pandemic did not affect their dietary habits, whereas 26% of surveyed individuals answered in the affirmative. The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on changing dietary habits was differentiated by age (Pearson’s χ2 = 12.604; p = 0.0134). The number of meals consumed by respondents per day differed across gender groups (Pearson’s χ2 = 9.653; df = 4; p = 0.0466). An increase in body weight during the COVID-19 pandemic was reported by 43% of women and 7.6% of surveyed men. Additionally, hybrid working women declared most often an increase in body mass independent of age, education level and living place. Moreover, the majority of respondents who reported the effect of the pandemic on changing dietary habits also declared more frequent sweets consumption. The study revealed that respondents who stated more frequent sweets consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic were more likely associated with an increase in body mass (OR = 6.75, 95% CI, 6.75–91.25). No increase in the consumption of vitamin D, C and Mg supplements and pickled products was found.

ZusammenfassungInden vergangenen Jahren hat das Thema Einsamkeit an Raum im wissenschaftlichen und politischen Diskurs gewonnen. So gibt es inzwischen zahlreiche Forschungsarbeiten und Publikationen zu Einsamkeit im Alter, die auch in der öffentlichen und politischen Diskussion besonders wahrgenommen werden. Empirische Befunde sollen diese Wahrnehmung unterstützen. Anhand von Daten des Sozioökonomischen Panels (SOEP) aus dem Jahr 2016 unterstreicht der Dritte Teilhabebericht der Bundesregierung, dass sich 16 % der Befragten oft einsam fühlen, unter den Menschen mit Beeinträchtigungen sind es sogar 31 %. Seit der Corona-Pandemie wird aufgrund der angeordneten Regelungen zum Social Distancing eine Häufung von Einsamkeitserfahrungen festgestellt. Eine Studie des wissenschaftlichen Dienstes der EU-Kommission kam zu dem Ergebnis, dass 25 % der EU-Bürger:innen sich nach den ersten Monaten der Pandemie einsam fühlten (im Vergleich zu 12 % im Jahr 2016. Regelmäßige Befragung zu Familie, Erwerbsarbeit, Politik und u. a. Gesundheit mit ca. 15.000 teilnehmenden Haushalten bzw. 30.000 Personen.). In nordeuropäischen Ländern hat sich der Anteil der einsamen Menschen seit Beginn der Pandemie sogar vervierfacht. Nach und nach etabliert sich dabei die Erkenntnis, dass Einsamkeit auch unter jungen Menschen kein seltenes Phänomen ist, das aber in dieser Altersgruppe in der Pandemie überdurchschnittlich an Bedeutung gewinnt. Dieser Beitrag analysiert Einsamkeitserfahrungen junger Menschen insbesondere anhand der Forschungsergebnisse aus den Studien JuCo I–III zu der Lebenssituation und den Erfahrungen von Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen während der Corona-Pandemie und diskutiert abschließend, welcher Forschungsbedarf sich daraus ableiten lässt.

“…Temporary restrictions on the possibilities of movement, gatherings, and meetings and reduced access to public space, including traditional entertainment facilities (e.g., sports or cultural), have changed the way children and adolescents, as well as adults, spend their free time, including their physical activity. The modifications in habits forced on them by the pandemic indicate an increase in time spent at home, a focus on entertainment mediated by social media (games, streaming, TV), and the growing importance of individually undertaken outdoor activities [ 1 , 2 , 3 ].…”

“…From the perspective of gender, men indicated less physical exercise (43.2%), and women more (44.6%). In an Italian study [ 2 ], a comparison between young people (between 12 and 24 years of age) and older people (between 55 and 64 years) showed that among the first group, clearly more people indicated an increase in the frequency of watching TV programs (an increase among 72.5% of respondents compared to 46.0% in the older group) and indoor physical activity (58.4% compared to 29.2%), as well as in idle time (54.0% compared to 34.4%), listening to music (53.1% compared to 34.0%), and artistic activities or hobbies (48.0% compared to 31.5%). Young people also indicated more significant changes in the satisfaction of basic needs during the lockdown period: They slept more (51.4% versus 26.7% of respondents aged 55–64) and ate more (48.5% versus 35.2%) and increased the time spent on beauty treatments (27.7% versus 9.1%).…”

“…Before the pandemic, children and adolescents under 18 most often undertook activities related to peer and social interactions in their free time in dedicated entertainment venues [ 2 , 3 ]. Among the factors related to barriers to entertainment activity in research on a representative group of people over 16 in Great Britain, the following were identified: mental difficulties (e.g., depression, anxiety), household chores and less time for entertainment, lack of resources (e.g., lack of funds), limitations in transport, and limitations in the sphere of social interactions (e.g., closed places of entertainment and limitations in school life) [ 5 ].…”

This project aims to recognize the school experiences of Polish students during the COVID-19 outbreak; we focused on the area of assessment of physical well-being and leisure time. Nearly two thousand primary or secondary school students aged 9 to 20 participated in the survey. Running descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, and significant difference tests, we found that 45% of students thought their physical well-being during the COVID-19 outbreak worsened compared to pre-pandemic times. Boys declared they felt better in their physical well-being than girls (p < 0.001). Most students noticed changes in the quality of their leisure time activities; boys were happier than girls in their free time during the outbreak (p < 0.001). Learners’ ages also differentiated the assessment of their physical well-being (p < 0.001) and leisure time (p < 0.001). The youngest students more often assessed their experiences in the researched fields as good or increased, while the older groups more often noticed a decrease. Multinomial logistic regression proved that the differences in the assessments of physical well-being and leisure time could be explained to the greatest extent by age and gender, whereas the place of residence and school location were insignificant. All in all, our study confirms the dominance of the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on physical well-being and changes in leisure time. As such, it is advisable (during and after outbreaks) to support children and adolescents by targeting individual and institution levels. We recommend developing techniques to reduce stress and information overload, increasing creative ways of spending leisure time, supporting families in navigating children’s free time, and expanding social support networks.
