“…Finally, the completeness and accuracy of this study's findings may be limited by memory recall errors that occur when collecting self-reported data using retrospective surveys [64]. Another limitation is that it was not able to ask for detailed dietary supplements (ex, probiotics, vitamins, etc.,) through the cross-sectional survey.…”

The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has brought about drastic measures that have significantly altered the norms of daily living. These measures have affected human behaviors in disparate ways. This study seeks to understand the impact of the pandemic on physical activity and dietary behavior among adults living in Kuwait. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between 18 June and 15 July 2020, using a questionnaire disseminated through social media, including WhatsApp and Facebook. The target population was individuals aged 21 years or older living in the State of Kuwait. The study included 679 respondents; 57.9% were females, and 67.7% were Kuwaiti nationals. Both genders reported an increased consumption of vegetables, fruits, and carbohydrates, and a decreased consumption of fish and sugary drinks. Compared to males, females reported eating more during the outbreak than their pre-pandemic eating behaviors (32.3% vs. 35.9%, p < 0.05). Approximately one-third of respondents (33.1%) reported performing less than 30 min of physical activity or exercise in a week, and 36.4% of respondents rated their quality of sleep as ‘poor’ or ‘very poor’. The rate of smoking cigarettes among males was significantly higher than in females (40.6% vs. 5.3%, p < 0.001). Physical activity was positively correlated with vegetable consumption and quality of sleep. Quality of sleep was negatively correlated with the consumption of sweets and snacks, just as the consumption of vegetables was negatively correlated with the consumption of sugary drinks. The overall negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Kuwait necessitates the development of health promotion interventions to support positive physical activity and dietary behaviors using alternative coping strategies among the residents of Kuwait.

“…First, the items measuring childhood abuse were based on the retrospective reports of adult children. This measurement could involve recall bias (Ayhan & Işiksal, 2005) although it was asked at the MIDUS 1 data collection, which may minimize recall bias associated with respondents' health conditions at the MIDUS II (e.g., depression). It also does not provide accurate assessments of the timing of the abuse, its intensity and duration.…”

“…In contrast to these earlier findings [24], our nursing home residents reported less coughing (18.1% in PICOV compared to 62.7% by Neumann-Podczaska). The reasons for these differences are not clear, but could firstly be attributed to memory recall errors as this data is collected retrospectively [25]. Secondly, the study population is different, as our data includes only current residents at nursing homes that survived their SARS-CoV-2 infection.…”

Background: COVID-19 has presented itself as one of the most important health concerns of 2020. The geriatric population is arguably hit the hardest by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The ”Prior Infection with SARS-COV-2” (PICOV) study investigates both residents and staﬀ members from nursing homes. The primary aim of the study is to compare the time to occurrence of an inﬂuenza-like illness (ILI) or acute respiratory infection (ARI) between participants with a conﬁrmed past SARS-CoV-2 infection and those without an infection. This paper details the study design, sampling scheme, biological measurements, and population characteristics at baseline.Methods: In 26 Belgian nursing homes, all eligible residents and staﬀ members with or without a past SARS-CoV-2 infection (ratio 40/60) were invited to participate. Consent was obtained from 1,375 participants and 1,226 completed the baseline questionnaire. Prevalence of symptoms during a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection was compared between residents and staﬀ members with χ2 statistics.Results: Nursing home residents (both with and without a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection) systematically reported fewer symptoms than staﬀ members. Moreover, results from prior nasopharyngeal RT-qPCR and baseline serology show that antibody development after a SARS-CoV-2 infection diﬀers between residents and staﬀ members.Conclusions: We can postulate that disease development and symptoms is diﬀerent between a geriatric and younger population. Therefore, the occurrence and severity of a future ILI and/or ARI might vary from resident to staﬀ.
