In addition, those with chronic medical issues who lived in areas more affected by COVID-19 also reported lower physical and mental health and life satisfaction. However, the same was not found among those without any underlying health conditions.
“The study offers somewhat of a ‘crystal ball’ into the mental health of Australian residents once they have been in the lockdown for one month,” added Dr. Zhang, who says that those who stop working or have existing health conditions may be at the highest risk of worse mental and physical health. Although the researchers expected that people who exercised more during the confinement period would also be more likely to have a healthy lifestyle and therefore be less likely to experience any well-being problems, they actually found that participants who exercised for more than 2.5 hours each day and lived in locations more affected by the outbreak reported worse life satisfaction. In contrast, those who exercised for half an hour or less actually reported positive life satisfaction.
