About this study

Official title: Implications of Covid-19 on the Lifestyle Changes and Supports Used (ICOLS): a Survey in the Province of Reggio Emilia

Northern Italy has been profoundly touched by the Covid-19 pandemic. To limit the outbreaks of contagion, the Italian government imposed 2.months of complete lock-down, which imposed the social isolation for the whole population and, for those positive to the Covid-19, the complete confinement at home. Despite the recommendations for conserving healthy lifestyle of the Italian Government, during the lock-down the likelihood to fall into unhealthy behaviours might have increased.

This study aims to describe the impact of Covid-19 on the lifestyles of a population of Italian adults living in an area of high spread of Sars-CoV-2.
