COVID - 19的传播极大地改变了我们的生活。本研究旨在调查日本女大学生的生活方式，重点关注大流行期间（紧急状态下）日本女大学生的身体活动、睡眠状况和焦虑状况。共有184名女大学生分别在大流行前和期间招募了115名和69名参与者，完成了两份问卷调查、人体测量、日常活动日志和饮食记录。研究结果显示，体育活动显著减少：体育活动水平从“正常”降至“低”，每日步数从8671降至4640，减少了近一半。此外，调查问卷的结果显示，一半的参与者有睡眠障碍的风险，他们的睡眠周期更倾向于夜间活动，这可能导致疫情期间焦虑状态加剧，睡眠质量下降。此外，焦虑状态恶化，100%的参与者在大流行期间经历了高度焦虑。需要在大流行期间监测生活方式的紊乱，以便制定干预措施，改善年轻妇女的健康。
The spread of COVID‐19 has dramatically changed our lives. This study aimed to examine the lifestyles of female college students, focusing on physical activity, sleep status, and anxiety status during the pandemic (while under a state of emergency) in Japan. A total of 184 female college students completed two questionnaires, anthropometric measurements, and daily activity logs and diet records, in groups of 115 and 69 participants recruited before and during the pandemic, respectively. Findings showed a significant decrease in physical activity: Physical activity levels fell from “normal” to “low” and the daily step counts decreased by nearly half, from 8671 to 4640. In addition, the results from the questionnaires revealed that half of the participants were at risk of having sleep disturbances, and their sleep cycles became more nocturnal, which may have caused higher anxiety states and lower sleep quality during the pandemic. Furthermore, anxiety states worsened, with 100% of the participants experiencing high anxiety during the pandemic. Monitoring lifestyle disturbances during the pandemic is needed for the development of interventions to improve health among young women.
