Τίτλος:
Lifestyle, psychological, socioeconomic and environmental factors and
their impact on hypertension during the coronavirus disease 2019
pandemic
Περίληψη:
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic considerably affects
health, wellbeing, social, economic and other aspects of daily life. The
impact of COVID-19 on blood pressure (BP) control and hypertension
remains insufficiently explored. We therefore provide a comprehensive
review of the potential changes in lifestyle factors and behaviours as
well as environmental changes likely to influence BP control and
cardiovascular risk during the pandemic. This includes the impact on
physical activity, dietary patterns, alcohol consumption and the
resulting consequences, for example increases in body weight. Other risk
factors for increases in BP and cardiovascular risk such as smoking,
emotional/psychologic stress, changes in sleep patterns and diurnal
rhythms may also exhibit significant changes in addition to novel
factors such as air pollution and environmental noise. We also highlight
potential preventive measures to improve BP control because hypertension
is the leading preventable risk factor for worldwide health during and
beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
