AI总结:
该研究通过128名在职成年人的健身追踪数据与问卷,量化分析新冠大流行对不同人群日常活动节律的不均等影响,为后疫情时代的支持政策提供依据。
摘要:
COVID-19大流行已显著影响日常活动节律与生活作息。了解这些影响在不同人群中的动态变化,对于打造在此类情境下构建能最大程度减少民众生活与福祉受干扰程度的环境至关重要。自2021年6月起,我们开展了一项为期一年的研究,从128名在职成年人中收集健身追踪器的高分辨率数据,以及月度问卷的答复。通过问卷,我们调查了大流行期间不同人群的锻炼与工作作息如何变化。除此之外,针对研究中的每位受试者,我们构建了每日步数的时间分布,以量化其日常运动节律,并使用不同运动节律之间Earth mover's distance(推土机距离)的倒数,来量化随时间推移的运动一致性。在整个大流行期间,我们的研究队列显示出锻炼作息的转变,表现为非步行类体育锻炼的时间减少,而步行时间保持不变。在日常运动节律方面,我们发现,与对应群体相比,流动人口与独居人群的日常运动节律一致性水平更低。我们还观察到运动与现场办公出勤之间的关联:与远程办公的参与者相比,去办公室上班的参与者往往能保持更一致的日常运动节律。在大流行相关限制措施放宽后,男性与流动人口返回工作岗位的速度更快。我们的研究结果量化证明了大流行在不同亚群体中的影响存在不均等性,并为机构与政策制定者提供参考,以便在后疫情时代提供更充分的支持,适配不同群体的差异化需求。
英文摘要:
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted daily activity rhythms and life routines. Understanding the dynamics of these impacts on different groups of people is essential for creating environments where people's lives and well-being are least disturbed during such circumstances. Starting in June 2021, we conducted a year-long study to collect high-resolution data from fitness trackers as well as answers to monthly questionnaires from 128 working adults. Using questionnaires, we investigate how routines of exercising and working have changed throughout the pandemic for different people. In addition to that, for each person in the study, we build temporal distributions of daily step counts to quantify their daily movement rhythms and use the inverse of the Earth mover's distance between different movement rhythms to quantify the movement consistency over time. Throughout the pandemic, our cohort shows a shift in exercise routines, manifested in a decrease in time spent on non-walking physical exercises as opposed to the unchanged amount of time spent on walking. In terms of daily rhythms of movement, we show that migrants and those who live alone demonstrate a lower level of consistency of daily rhythms of movement compared to their counterparts. We also observe a relationship between movement and on-site work attendance, as participants who go to work (as opposed to working remotely) also tend to maintain more consistent daily rhythms of movement. Men and migrants show a faster pace in going back to work after the decrease in restriction measures that were set in place due to the pandemic. Our results quantitatively demonstrate the unequal effect of the pandemic among different sub-populations and inform organizations and policymakers to provide more adequate support and adapt to the different needs of different groups in the post-pandemic era.
