Key result
Healthy lifestyle modifications, including regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, and adequate sleep, are essential for preventing diabetes and reducing COVID-19 severity.
Why the study?
COVID-19 pandemic quarantine measures caused sudden lifestyle changes that may increase the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases.
Adopting healthy lifestyle measures is essential to prevent the upsurge of diabetes and reduce the severity of COVID-19 infections during and after the pandemic.
May heighten type 2 DM risk via pandemic lifestyle changes; leaves open need for prospective studies on mitigation.
The incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing exponentially globally, with 90% of the confirmed cases being type 2 DM. The global incidence of DM is expected to increase by 48% during 2017-2045. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to have a massive impact on human health, causing sudden lifestyle changes through quarantine measures, such as lockdown, social distancing, various curfews, and isolation at home. This in turn might increase the risk of developing numerous chronic diseases, such as DM, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases, which increase the severity of COVID-19. To this end, we performed a comprehensive review to determine viable measures for the prevention of DM and its subsequent upsurge globally. Additionally, we have determined strategies that should be adopted globally to ensure a healthy lifestyle during the COVID-19 pandemic and later.
