We received 2,534 completed responses, which 61% women, 79% non-Hispanic Whites, 20% graduate students. Results Exploratory factor analysis close-ended responses resulted two latent constructs, we profile analysis, including high (45% sample), moderate (40%), low (14%) impact. Bivariate associations showed who Asian, fair/poor health, below-average relative family income, or knew someone experienced Students White, above-average social class, spent at least hours outside, less than eight electronic screens lower Multivariate modeling (mixed-effects logistic regression) being woman, having status, 18 24 years old, spending 8 daily, knowing predicted considered simultaneously.

One thousand six hundred one articles published after 2019 were retrieved from five databases, which 64 40 included systematic review meta-analysis, respectively. Studies grouped according population: children (<18 years), adults (18-64 years) older (>65 years). Average calculated, with sub-analyses performed by country, behaviour type outcomes. Children most affected, increasing their 159.5 ± 142.6 min day-1, followed (+126.9 42.2 day-1) (+46.9 22.0 day-1). There no sex differences any age group. Screen only consistently measured accounted for 46.8% 57.2% total adults, Increases negatively correlated global mental health, depression, anxiety quality life, irrespective age. Whilst lockdown affected all groups, more than or highlighting population as a key intervention target. As lockdowns ease worldwide, strategies should be employed reduce spent sedentary.

Instruments measuring capabilities (OxCAP-MH), depression anxiety (HADS), (MSPSS) (WHO-5) were used association with six pre-defined using multivariable linear regression. Results 31% participants reported low only 30% those history treatment received lockdown. Past had significant negative effect across all outcome an associated score reduction − 6.54 (95%CI, 9.26, 3.82). Direct experience being ‘at risk’ due age and/or conditions also deprivations. When adjusted for vulnerabilities, reductions observed increased levels (− 1.77) 1.50), significantly higher (+ 3.75) support. Compared cohort average, individual varied between 9% reporting past + 5% one scale. Conclusions Our study is first assess limiting aspects alongside The strongest treatment.

While COVID-19 lockdowns have slowed coronavirus transmission, such structural measures also unintended consequences on mental and physical health. Growing evidence shows that exposure to the natural environment (e.g., blue-green spaces) can improve human health wellbeing. In this narrative review, we synthesized about nature's contributions wellbeing during first two years of pandemic. We found pandemic, people experienced multiple types nature, including both outdoors indoors. Frequency visits outdoor areas (i.e., public parks) depended lockdown severity socio-cultural contexts. Other forms nature exposure, as spending time in private gardens viewing greenery from windows, may increased. The majority suggests pandemic was associated with less depression, anxiety, stress, more happiness life satisfaction. Additionally, correlated inactivity fewer sleep disturbances. Evidence mixed regarding associations between COVID-related outcomes, while might be greater rates transmission mortality when proper social distancing were not maintained. Findings whether helped ameliorate inequities by impacting lower-socioeconomic populations than their higher-socioeconomic counterparts for example mixed. Based these findings, argue buffered negative behavioral impacts Recovery resilience current crises future improved nature-based infrastructure, interventions, designs, governance.
