COVID-19 pandemic is a serious health threating element throughout the world. One of the key elements to strengthen the body's immune system is to follow a healthy lifestyle to deal with health threating. The aim of this study was to evaluate the lifestyle components in COVID-19 patients.
This descriptive-analytical study carried on hospitalized COVID-19 patients from October 22, 2020 to January 19, 2021. Demographic characteristics, physical activity, nutritional status, stress and anxiety, and substance abuse were assessed. A simple model and multiple logistic regression model were used.
About 32% were hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU). Healthy lifestyle was observed only in 28%. About 82% had insufficient physical activity, and 67.3% was reported to be unfavorable in nutritional status. Severe stress and anxiety were observed in 30.4% of people. There were significant relationships between age (AOR = 2.11, p = 0.036), education (AOR = 0.35, p = 0.002) and a healthy lifestyle. A significant correlation was observed between ICU admission and unhealthy lifestyle (AOR = 0.40, p = 0.015).
Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors were seen in the most COVID-19 patients. Considering the significance of lifestyle changes could prove effective in reducing the risk of transmissible viral infections.
新冠疫情是全球范围内严重的健康威胁因素。增强身体免疫系统的关键要素之一是遵循健康的生活方式以应对健康威胁。本研究的目的是评估新冠患者的生活方式组成部分。
这项描述性分析研究于2020年10月22日至2021年1月19日对住院的新冠患者进行。评估了人口统计学特征、身体活动、营养状况、压力和焦虑以及药物滥用情况。使用了简单模型和多元逻辑回归模型。
约32%的患者入住重症监护病房（ICU）。只有28%的患者有健康的生活方式。约82%的患者身体活动不足，67.3%的患者营养状况不佳。30.4%的人存在严重的压力和焦虑。年龄（优势比[AOR]=2.11，p=0.036）、教育程度（AOR=0.35，p=0.002）与健康生活方式之间存在显著关系。入住ICU与不健康生活方式之间存在显著相关性（AOR=0.40，p=0.015）。
大多数新冠患者存在不健康的生活方式行为。考虑到生活方式改变的重要性可能对降低传染性病毒感染风险有效。
