Impact of COVID-19-related lockdown on metabolic syndrome variables in healthcare workers with pre-existing metabolic syndrome: A prospective study

Onkar Singh, Mrinal Gupta, Meenakshi Sharma.


Abstract
Background: An extraordinary impact on health-care personnel has been caused by the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a health-care crisis.

Aims and Objectives: Our aim was to assess the effects of a changing lifestyle on anthropometric measurements, blood glucose levels, atherogenic lipid profiles, and blood pressure over the course of a year in Indian healthcare workers (HCWs).

Materials and Methods: A prospective study was carried out on 40 HCWs including 23 male and 17 females between the age of 22 and 59 years. The study was conducted in the Department of Physiology and the Department of Biochemistry, Government Medical College, Kathua, UT of Jammu and Kashmir. Informed written consent was obtained from the subjects and ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Ethics Committee. Height, weight, waist circumference, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured using standard methods. Body mass index was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters.

Results: The present study found statistically significant increase in systolic blood pressure and statistically significant decrease in mean HDL-cholesterol before and after COVID-19 pandemic in HCWs.

Conclusion: The onset of metabolic syndrome and its potential effects could be stopped by early use of preventative interventions in the changed parameters.

Key words: Anthropometric Parameters; Atherogenic Lipid Profile; Body Mass Index
