Research summary
A global health emergency based on the COVID-19 outbreak was declared and countries more susceptible to the COVID-19 situation included those with compromised, weak or vulnerable healthcare systems. During the COVID-19 global pandemic it became apparent that the lives of the citizens of the world would be affected from a public health, lifestyle and economy perspective. As a consequence, the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to grow which gave rise to observing quarantine measures, social distancing measures, hospitalization / bed rest measures and risks of physical inactivity brought about by immobilization. This study aims to evaluate the effect of COVID-19 in Scotland on leisure physical activity, sedentary action, emotional feelings, oral health, sleep patterns, nutrition and ophthalmology among participants with and without coronavirus using a validated novel COVISTRESS questionnaire (http://www.covistress.org/index-en.html).
