“…In a study conducted with nine hundred ninety-five participants in India, it was found that the COVID-19 pandemic led to improved eating patterns, healthier foods were consumed, but physical activity decreased significantly and one-third of the participants gained weight due to an increase in screen time and sitting (Chopra et al, 2020). A study conducted in Turkey found that eating patterns, physical activity, and sleep habits were negatively affected during the COVID-19 pandemic, stress levels and cigarette consumption increased, and more than half of the participants gained weight (Korkmaz Aslan et al, 2022). In a study that examined lifestyle changes during the first wave of the COVID-19 epidemic, it was reported that 19.3% of participants shifted to a healthier lifestyle and 12.3% shifted to an unhealthy lifestyle (Werf et al, 2021).…”

Introduction: Healthy lifestyle behaviors are accepted as non-pharmacological approaches in the management of diseases. During the pandemic, individuals started to use the internet to get information and protect their health. Methods: The identified healthy lifestyle terms were searched in the Google Trends (GT) for the last five years in five countries. Analysis: We use Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn's test and Mann Whitney U test. Results: While there was a decrease in the frequency of searches for healthy nutrition after the pandemic compared to before the pandemic in Turkiye, the USA and the UK, there was an increase in Brazil. The increase frequency of searches for alcohol cessation after the pandemic was statistically significant in the USA, Brazil and the UK. In Turkiye, the USA, Brazil, the increase in the frequency of searches for the physical exercise topic after the pandemic compared to before the pandemic was statistically significant. Conclusion: It can be concluded that during the pandemic, there was a significant increase in public interest in most of the healthy lifestyle terms in the five countries identified and there was an awareness to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Background: The global impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on public health has been significant. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for screening and diagnosis decreased along with new gastric cancer (GC) diagnoses. Methods: This study assesses how the pandemic affected GC mortality using data from Hiroshima Prefecture, comparing mortality rates between patients diagnosed during the pandemic (2020 and 2021) and pre-pandemic (2018 and 2019) periods. The crude hazard ratios (HRs) and HRs adjusted for age, sex, clinical stage, treatment status, and travel distance to the nearest GC screening facility were estimated using Cox regression models. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were also performed. Results: A total of 9571 patients were diagnosed, with 4877 eligible for follow-up. The median age was 74 years, and 69% were male. The median follow-up period was 157 days, with events per 1000 person-years at 278 and 374 in the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods, respectively (crude HR, 1.37; adjusted HR, 1.17). The sensitivity and subgroup analyses yielded consistent results. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic increased mortality risk in patients with GC. Further studies are required to observe long-term outcomes and identify the disparities contributing to the increased mortality risk.

“…For example, the study found that the COVID-19 epidemic negatively impacted the psychological well-being of undergraduate medical students, with increased incidence as well as levels of anxiety and stress (32)(33)(34)(35). Fourth, in terms of methods of stress relief during COVID-19, scholars have explored ways to relieve stress, such as improving lifestyle and adopting positive health behaviors (36)(37)(38)(39)(40). Mattioli et al demonstrated that isolation is associated with stress and depression, and that global action must be engendered to support healthy diet and physical activity, thereby promoting good lifestyles (41).…”

BackgroundThe COVID-19 epidemic generated different forms of stress. From this period, there has been a remarkable increase in the quantity of studies on stress conducted by scholars. However, few used bibliometric analyses to focus on overall trends in the field.PurposeThis study sought to understand the current status and trends in stress development during COVID-19, as well as the main research drives and themes in this field.Methods2719 publications from the Web of Science(WOS) core repository on stress during COVID-19 were analyzed by utilizing Co-Occurrence (COOC), VOS viewer, and Cite Space bibliometric software. The overall features of research on stress during COVID-19 were concluded by analyzing the quantity of publications, keywords, countries, and institutions.ResultsThe results indicated that the United States had the largest number of publications and collaborated closely with other countries with each other. University of Toronto was the most prolific institution worldwide. Visualization and analysis demonstrated that the influence of stress during COVID-19 on the work, life, mental and spiritual dimensions is a hot research topic. Among other things, the frequency of each keyword in research on stress during COVID-19 increased from 2021 to 2022, and the researchers expanded their scope and study population; the range of subjects included children, nurses, and college students, as well as studies focusing on different types of stress, and emphasizing the handling of stress.ConclusionOur findings reveal that the heat of stress research during COVID-19 has declined, and the main research forces come from the United States and China. Additionally, subsequent research should concern more on coping methods with stress, while using more quantitative and qualitative studies in the future.
