“…According to scholars, engaging in physical activity during any confinement creates a positive impact on mental health, and thus plays a vital role in maintaining mental stability during COVID-19 [25]. COVID-19 anxiety negatively affected the mental health behaviors that widely created mental health disorders, particularly psychiatric issues, like depression, anxiety, and stress-related diseas-es [24]. The causes of depression lie in complex interactions of social, psychological, and biological factors [24].…”

According to different studies, such difficulties were different in scale in different cities depending on the demographic attributes of the people. This phenomenon has created the essence of the current study to examine the health conditions in terms of their mental health, lifestyle, and demographic attributes during and immediate past of the COVID-19 era. Method: It was a cross-sectional study covering the people of Dhaka City Corporation. For this purpose, a multistage sampling method was applied, under which the respondents were selected randomly and a self-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data. The questionnaire was developed based on the DASS 21, as it was suitable to measure the components of mental health in the form of depression, anxiety, and stress. Descriptive analysis and cross-tabulation were applied to find out the association between dependent and independent variables, whereas, a chi-square test was performed to examine the hypothesis. Finally, multivariate analysis was done to find out the risk factors. Three logistic regression models were developed for three dependent variables. Result: The findings of the analysis revealed that the lifestyle of people had severely influenced the components of their mental health conditions during and immediate past of COVID-19 in the Dhaka City Corporation, which varies to some extent depending on the demographic attributes of those. Conclusion: The above findings are statistically significant enough to conclude about the essence of taking preventive measures regarding mental health issues in the future.

“…It reveals the differential influences of PA/NA on PB related to PR ( 21 ). That is, college students' PR might increase PB by reducing NA and increasing PA. NA strengthens counterproductive work behavior ( 87 ), like violating PB in the COVID-19 pandemic, and meanwhile negatively affects health behavior ( 88 ). Individuals with higher levels of PA are more likely to care for themselves ( 89 ) and show great potential in health behavior learning ( 90 ).…”

Following preventive behaviors is a key measure to protect people from infectious diseases. Protection motivation theory (PMT) suggests that perceived risk motivates individuals to take protective measures. The COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented stress to the public, and changes in perceived risk may be more pronounced among college students than among other groups due to the related campus lockdown. With 1,119 college students recruited as research subjects, a quantitative research was conducted in Wuhan, China, to deduce the relationship between the perceived risk and preventive behavior of college students, as well as between the mediation effect of individual affect and the moderating effect of physical exercise. The results showed that the preventive behavior of college students was significantly affected by perceived risk, and both positive affect and negative affect played a mediating role between perceived risk and preventive behavior. Specifically, positive affect aided the relationship between perceived risk and preventive behavior, negative affect was detrimental to their relationship, and the mediation effect of positive affect is significantly higher than that of negative affect. Furthermore, physical exercise played a moderating role in the mediation effects of positive affect and negative affect. Therefore, appropriate measures should be taken to strengthen Chinese college students' perceived risk and provide them with corresponding guidance. The importance of physical exercise should also be emphasized to help college students with low perceived risk reduce negative affect, increase positive affect, and promote their preventive behavior.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has affected and changed the lives of people around the world [35]. For some individuals, these social changes have presented opportunities (e.g., more time with the family, flexible working, and a reduced demand for travel) [36]; for others, these changes have had a substantial impact on their mental health, especially in vulnerable subjects affected by chronic pain such as BMS who have already shown high level of anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, hypochondriac behaviors, and low stress tolerance [35,37].…”

Background. Lockdown restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic exerted a strong impact on people’s quality of life and increased loneliness. This study evaluates the effect of the pandemic on loneliness in patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) compared with the general population. Methods. 100 BMS patients versus 100 healthy controls (HC) were recruited in five Italian centers. The 12-Item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21), the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the short-form UCLA Loneliness Scale-8 (ULS-8), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Suicidal Ideation Attribute Scale (SIDAS) were administered. Results. BMS patients and HC showed high scores (16 [14-20.25] and 16 [14-18]) in the ULS-8. Statistically significant differences have been found considering the BMS patients lived with fewer relatives during the lockdown compared with the HC (2 [2-3] and 3 [2-4]; p : 0.012) with a lower level of satisfaction in relationships with relatives (4 [1.75-5] and 5 [4-5]; p < 0.001 ) and also in the DASS-21 total scores between the BMS patients and HC (16 [10-24.2] and 10 [4-17]; p < 0.001 ). The multivariate logistic regression revealed that age, education, DASS-21, and MSPSS were the most predictive variables and could explain 34.68% of the variance in the ULS-8 score ( p < 0.001 ) in the BMS group. However, only the DASS-21 was significant in the HC group, explaining 10.11% of the variance of the ULS-8 ( p : 0.033). Conclusions. Both the patients and controls experienced deep loneliness during the pandemic. However, in the BMS group, loneliness was significantly correlated with age, a higher level of education and stress, and a lower level of satisfaction in relationships with relatives and social support perceived compared with the controls.
