Abstract
Our study investigated whether changes in physical activity due to COVID-19 mediate the association between quarantine or hospitalization due to COVID-19 and COVID-19 life impact score. A total of 154 participants (0.23%) were quarantined or hospitalized due to COVID-19. There were mediating effects of changes in physical activity due to COVID-19 (β = −1.63, 95% confidence interval = −0.77 to −2.42). This study suggests that measures to minimize lifestyle changes during the pandemic are required to reduce negative consequences.
