Objectives: We investigated changes in physical activity(PA) and characteristics during the COVID-19 pandemic in Daegu city.
Methods: 14,609 subjects were selected from 2019, 2020 Community health survey in Daegu. We analyzed the relation to changes in physical activity and characteristics such as age, income, occupation.
Results: The rate of walking(OR 0.82) and moderate-to-vigorous PA(MVPA; OR, 0.69) decreased in 2020 compared to 2019, and in particular, in all age, income, and occupation groups. The walking in 2020 decreased a lot in 20s, monthly income of over 4 million won, and office workers. And the rate of MVPA decreased the most in their 40s, monthly income of 3-4 million won, and job of agriculture, forestry and fishery. In the 2020 survey, women's rate of walking and MVPA were lower than that of men. Compared to 20s, the rate of walking was lower in 40s. MVPA rate was significantly lower than in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and over 70s than in 20s. The rate of MVPA was higher in all the groups with monthly income over 2 million won compared to less than 2 million won. The rate of walking in others was lower than that of professional administrative.
Conclusions: The prolonged reduction in physical activity due to COVID-19 may increase the burden of disease on infectious and chronic diseases. Therefore, a public health intervention is essential to increase PA for the group with a high decrease in PA and then interventions are needed involving the entire population.
