Results: 49.7% of the total survey subjects, 47.8% of hypertensive patients, 46.7% of diabetic, and 54.3% of obesity patient showed a decrease in physical activity during the COVID-19 outbreak. Results by multiple logistic regression analysis, in female (odds ratio, OR = 1.37; 95% confidence interval, CI = 1.18-1.59), 19-29y (OR = 1.49; 95% CI = 1.18-1.88), 30s (OR = 1.52; 95% CI = 1.18-1.96), 40s (OR = 1.55; 95% CI = 1.20-2.00), residents in the urban area (OR = 1.41; 95% CI = 1.18-1.69), non-practice of moderate to vigorous physical activity (OR = 1.49; 95% CI = 1.26-1.76), high health anxiety from COVID-19 infection (OR = 1.41; 95% CI = 1.21-1.65), perceived depression (OR = 1.90; 95% CI = 1.50-2.40), and obesity (OR = 1.23; 95% CI = 1.07-1.41) more decreased than before COVID-19 pandemic in physical activity.
