Reduced physical activity level was associated with poorer quality of life during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic: a sub-study of the last-long trial
Objectives: To assess how physical activity levels changed in a stroke cohort during the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, and how these changes were associated with quality of life (QoL). Methods: Between March and July 2021, 150 patients with stroke already included in the Life after Stroke (LAST-l...

| description | Objectives: To assess how physical activity levels changed in a stroke cohort during the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, and how these changes were associated with quality of life (QoL).
Methods: Between March and July 2021, 150 patients with stroke already included in the Life after Stroke (LAST-long) trial in Norway were invited to participate in this cross-sectional survey. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire assessing changes in physical activity and self-reported health following the pandemic. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to explore the association between physical activity, loneliness, mental health, social activity and QoL.
Results: In all, 118 (79%) participants completed the questionnaire. A total of 80 (68%) reported less physical activity, 46 (39%) felt lonelier, and 43 (37%) reported worse mental health, while 50 (42%) reported reduced QoL compared with before the lockdown. In the univariate analyses less physical activity, feeling lonelier and changes in mental health were associated with reduced QoL. In the multivariate analysis only less physical activity odds ratio (OR) = 4.04 (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.44–11.34, p = 0.008) was significantly associated with reduced QoL.
Conclusion: More than two-thirds of patients with stroke reported reduced physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic, and less physical activity was strongly associated with reduced QoL.
