Increased risk of developing metabolic conditions during COVID-19 pandemic Coronavirus Disease COVID Metabolic Disease Pandemic PLOSONE murraystateuniv UABNews UTHealthHouston etsu
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaFeb 14 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study published in the journal PLoS ONE, researchers examine the prevalence and association of metabolic conditions with health and sociodemographic factors during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and pre-pandemic periods.
About the study In the present study, researchers determine the relationship between COVID-19 and metabolic conditions. They also evaluate the relationship between metabolic disorders among adults in the United States and the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic, including lack of physical activity, tobacco consumption, sociodemographic variables, and depression/anxiety.
The depression/anxiety symptoms were analyzed using the patient health questionnaire-4 in the surveys. The weighted prevalence of metabolic conditions was determined and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to establish adjusted odds ratio values. HINTS datasets were de-identified before the analysis.
In comparison to never-smokers, former smokers had greater odds of developing metabolic disorders in the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods with AOR values of 1.4 and 1.6, respectively. Individuals with mild depression/anxiety symptoms were more likely to develop metabolic disorders than those without such symptoms, with pre-pandemic and pandemic AOR values of 1.5 and 1.6, respectively.
In the pandemic period, the likelihood of developing metabolic conditions was significantly greater for individuals 26 to 34 years of age , 35 to 49 years of age , 50 to 64 years of age , and those 65 years and older than individuals between the ages of 18 and 25.
