The objective of the present study was to evaluate the activities of daily living (ADLs) using the Barthel Index before and after infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and also to determine whether or not the results varied according to gender. The ADLs of 68 cohabiting geriatric patients, 34 men and 34 women, in two nursing homes were measured before and after SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19)) infection. COVID-19 infection was found to affect the performance of ADLs in institutionalized elderly in nursing homes, especially in the more elderly subjects, regardless of sex. The COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to having claimed many victims, especially in the elderly population, has led to a reduction in the abilities of these people to perform their ADLs and caused considerable worsening of their quality of life even after recovering from the disease.
本研究的目的是使用巴氏指数评估严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）感染前后的日常生活活动（ADL），并确定结果是否因性别而异。在两家养老院中，对68名同居老年患者（34名男性和34名女性）在感染SARS-CoV-2（2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19））前后的ADL进行了测量。发现COVID-19感染会影响养老院中机构化老年人的ADL表现，尤其是年龄较大的受试者，无论性别如何。COVID-19大流行除了造成许多受害者，尤其是老年人群体，还导致这些人进行ADL的能力下降，即使在从疾病中康复后，他们的生活质量也大幅恶化。
