The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on population mental health is global concern. Inflammatory processes are thought to contribute ill-health, but their role in experiences psychological distress during has not been investigated. We tested hypothesis that elevated inflammatory biomarkers (high-sensitivity plasma C-reactive protein [CRP] and fibrinogen) measured pre-pandemic would be positively predictive increased depressive symptoms experienced pandemic. Data were analysed from English Longitudinal Study Ageing (ELSA), with 3574 individuals aged >50 for CRP 3314 fibrinogen waves 8 (2016/17) or 9 (2018/19).

The impact of COVID‐19 pandemic on delivery has been wide‐ranging, but little is known about how affected interventions. present study aimed examine barriers and enablers delivering pandemic. Methods Twenty‐five qualitative semi‐structured interviews were conducted January 2022 a range patient‐facing (including nurses, physiotherapists, dieticians, doctors midwives) NHS. Data analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results Two overarching themes generated: (1) system's response , (2) maintaining good HCP‐patient relationships: reluctance responsibility . COVID‐19‐related included exacerbated staffing pressures perceived inability use IT equipment facilitate conversations (due poor internet connectivity or ill‐equipped platforms). video consultations enabling less awkward more honest behaviours. However, some remained same as pre‐pandemic, such issues role for discussing patients, balancing holistic wellbeing advice positive patient‐HCP relationships, Discussion increased remote may by professionals. there also strong need improve levels, order that staff have psychological physical capabilities engage patients these conversations.

The objective of this longitudinal study was to analyze changes in physical activity, sedentary time, sleep, anxiety, mood, and perceived health as a result COVID-19 pandemic cohort Spanish university students, both during the home confinement one year after. Additionally, we analyzed associations between other measured parameters. Data were collected through two online questionnaires that included International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, self-reported levels before, after confinement. Participants reported decreased increased deterioration sleep quality Most parameters had improved later; however, participants still less more compared before Men greater reduction activity than women. In contrast, women reduced confinement, whereas men activity. higher anxiety worse mood post-confinement pre-confinement, with reporting men. Sports science students closer regaining pre-pandemic disciplines. Sleep, among obesity BMI categories. Overall, time associated better post-confinement. conclusion, our results demonstrate behavior, disrupted Higher lower preserved mental pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected how many people engage in regular moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA). purpose of this study was to predict current and dynamic (across 2 years the pandemic) intention MVPA profiles using multi-process action control (M-PAC) framework. A representative sample 977 English-speaking Canadians (18 + years) completed measures reflective (instrumental attitude, affective perceived capability, opportunity), regulatory (planning self-monitoring), reflexive (habit identity) processes, intention, MVPA. These included assessments reflections prior restrictions. Three intention-behavior (nonintenders, unsuccessful intenders, successful intenders) five intention-MVPA by prepandemic (consistent nonintenders, relapsed consistent emerged from these data, showing few increased across pandemic. were subsequently predicted changes specific reflective, regulatory, processes pandemic; however, only change identity critical predictor engagement 2-year profiles. Collectively, findings support joint promotion choice behavior techniques promote postpandemic behavior.
