ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective:
This study analyzed the impact of sex on self-reported health and lifestyle parameters in peripheral artery disease patients at two periods of the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods:
In this longitudinal study, 99 patients with peripheral artery disease (53 men and 46 women) were evaluated during two periods of the COVID-19 pandemic ( i.e ., at onset May to August 2020, and on follow-up May to August 2021). Patients were interviewed via telephone, and information regarding lifestyle and health parameters was obtained.Results:
At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, health and habit parameters were similar between women and men, with 63.0% and 45.3% indicating frequent fatigue, 73.9% and 84.9% reporting increased sitting time, and 23.9% and 39.6% practicing physical activity, respectively. At follow-up, difficulties in physical mobility (women from 26.1% to 73.9%, p<0.001; men from 39.6% to 71.7%, p=0.001) and the frequency of hospitalization for reasons other than COVID-19 increased similarly in women and men (women from 4.3% to 21.7%, p=0.013; men from 9.4% to 24.5%, p=0.038). The other parameters were similar between the periods.Conclusion:
Self-reported physical mobility difficulties and hospitalization frequency increased in women and men with peripheral artery disease.
