Key result
Suboptimal health dimensions significantly affected COVID-19 stress and fear, while post-pandemic travel intention was positively related to fatigue and negatively associated with COVID-19 stress.
Why the study?
Suboptimal health has become a core public health challenge, especially during the pandemic.
Cross-Sectional (n=800)
No
Suboptimal health dimensions significantly affect COVID-19 stress and fear, which in turn influence post-pandemic travel intentions.

Suboptimal health may shape post-pandemic travel via stress and fatigue; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before guiding interventions.
Suboptimal health has become a core public health challenge, especially during the pandemic. This study adopts an interdisciplinary perspective to examine the relationships between suboptimal health status, COVID-19 fear and stress, cultural values, and outbound travel. A theoretical model was evaluated using data from 800 Beijing residents, 439 of whom were in suboptimal health. Four dimensions of suboptimal health (fatigue, mental status, immune system, and cardiovascular system) significantly affected COVID-19 stress and fear. Post-pandemic travel intention was positively related to fatigue symptoms and leisure and life enjoyment but negatively associated with COVID-19 stress. Suggestions for highlighting travellers’ health status and promoting holistic health through post-pandemic travel are provided.

Zheng et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Suboptimal health status (n=800). Suboptimal health status was evaluated on COVID-19 stress and fear, and post-pandemic travel intention. Suboptimal health dimensions significantly affected COVID-19 stress and fear, while post-pandemic travel intention was positively related to fatigue and negatively associated with COVID-19 stress.
