SARS-CoV-2 pandemic resulted in lifestyle change of world's population because of the measures adopted by governments to contain the virus spread.
This study examined whether lockdown impacted anthropometric indices, Mediterranean Diet (MD) adherence, Physical Activity Level (PAL), and Quality of Life (SF-12) in a cohort of 116 patients (96 F, aged 57.2 ± 13.1 years) affected by thyroid disorders. Before lockdown, data were collected during the endocrinological examination; after lockdown they were collected through a tele-phone interview (via video call).
Data revealed an overweight condition in 59% of patients, with no significant differences between the two observations (BMI values: 26.5 ± 4.9 vs 26.6 ± 4.9 kg/m), whereas waist circumference values significantly increased over time (93.3 ± 12.6 vs 94.4 ± 12.5 cm; = 0.003). Moreover, a lower adherence to the MD (PREDIMED score: 7.3 ± 1.8 vs 7.0 ± 1.8; = 0.003) and a significant increase of sitting time (6.4 ± 3.2 h/die vs 9.0 ± 4.2; < 0.001) were observed. A not significant decrease in PAL, which revealed a sedentary condition in pre- and post-lockdown (648 and 562 METs/week respectively), was found. The SF-12 score did not show relevant changes between the two observations.
Our study highlights that patients with thyroid diseases are often sedentary and exhibit a high prevalence of over-weight, underscoring the need for a systematic anthropometric evaluation and, at times, lifestyle interventions.
由于各国政府采取措施遏制新冠病毒传播，新冠疫情导致全球人口生活方式发生改变。
本研究调查了封锁措施是否对116例甲状腺疾病患者（96名女性，年龄57.2±13.1岁）的人体测量指标、地中海饮食（MD）依从性、身体活动水平（PAL）和生活质量（SF - 12）产生影响。封锁前，在内分泌检查期间收集数据；封锁后，通过电话访谈（视频通话）收集数据。
数据显示59%的患者超重，两次观察之间无显著差异（BMI值：26.5±4.9 vs 26.6±4.9kg/m²），而腰围值随时间显著增加（93.3±12.6 vs 94.4±12.5cm；P = 0.003）。此外，观察到MD依从性降低（PREDIMED评分：7.3±1.8 vs 7.0±1.8；P = 0.003）以及久坐时间显著增加（6.4±3.2小时/天 vs 9.0±4.2；P < 0.001）。发现PAL无显著下降，其在封锁前后均显示久坐状态（分别为648和562代谢当量/周）。两次观察之间SF - 12评分未显示出相关变化。
我们的研究强调甲状腺疾病患者通常久坐且超重患病率高，凸显了进行系统人体测量评估以及有时进行生活方式干预的必要性。
