“…Many students developed unhealthy mechanisms during the pandemic to cope with their elevated sense of anxiety, stress, or depression. In many cases this leads to increased addictive behaviors and decreased frequency of physical activity ( 16 – 18 ), which are some of the underlying causes of the diseases of affluence ( 19 , 20 ). Besides a negative effect on all physical activity attempts, the changes affected adverse eating habits as well ( 21 ).…”

IntroductionFrom the moment the first cases of coronavirus disease were detected in December 2019 until the announcement and duration of the pandemic, it was a negative experience for people around the world in various spheres of life. In connection with it, there have been many changes in our daily lives related to lifestyle, physical activity, or the mental sphere. The aim of the following paper is to determine the correlation between the COVID-19 pandemic and alcohol drinking, smoking, physical exercise, and lifestyle among nursing students in Poland.MethodsThe study was conducted among nursing students at Wroclaw Medical University before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey consisted of completing the same anonymous online questionnaires five times by the same research group. The majority of respondents were women in the age between 18 and 30 years old and the significance level of data analysis was set at p < 0.05.Results and discussionIn October 2020, we recorded a large number of respondents experiencing anxiety/fear or being more stressed. Between the measurements, the highest average level of alcohol addiction (p < 0.001) was in October 2021 (8.71). Moreover, the percentage of respondents who felt as before increased (p = 0.021). As the pandemic continued, there was a systematic decline in the physical activity level (p < 0.001). In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic had a serious impact on the daily lives of the students.

“…Additionally, human behavior is changing in a way that is conducive to the rapid spread of diseases. Now, civilization diseases are the topic of interest in many research studies [16,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. Taking into account the diseases that contributed to the highest mortality among people in the world at the beginning of the 21st century, the following diseases were identified: hypertension (1.1% of all deaths), diabetes (2.7%), diarrhea (2.7%), HIV and AIDS (2.7%), cancer of the bronchi and lungs (2.9%), tuberculosis (3.1%), lower respiratory tract disease (5.5%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (5.9%), stroke (12%), and coronary artery disease (13.2% of all deaths).…”

The importance of studying civilization diseases manifests itself in the impact of changing lifestyles, on the number of deaths and causes of death. Technology transfer plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of these diseases. Through this, it is possible to transfer new treatments and diagnostics to clinics and hospitals more quickly and effectively, which leads to better healthcare for patients. Technology transfer can also aid in the development of new drugs and therapies that can be effective in the treatment of civilization diseases. The paper aims to evaluate the technology transfer process in the field of civilization diseases, using COVID-19 as an example of a pandemic that requires quick development and transfer of technology. To achieve the assumed goal, we propose a multivariate synthetic ratio in the field of civilization diseases (SMTT—Synthetic Measure of Technology Transfer) to analyze data from the Global Data database. We used sub-measures like SMTT_value (Synthetic Measure of Technology Transfer_value) and SMTT_quantity (Synthetic Measure of Technology Transfer_quantity) to measure technology transfer and put the data into a graph. Our analysis focuses on 14 diseases over a period of 10 years (2012–2021) and includes nine forms of technology transfer, allowing us to create a tool for analysing the process in multiple dimensions. Our results show that COVID-19 is similar in terms of technology transfer to diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and breast cancer, even though data for COVID-19 is available for only 2 years.

“…There is good evidence that the use of at risk-language is connected to the growing significance of chronic and civilisation diseases (see, for example, Kurylowicz & Kopczynski, 1986). Even though infectious diseases did not disappear, significant health risks of our times are cardiovascular diseases, which are connected to modern lifestyles.…”
