Abstract

Introduction: Healthy lifestyle behaviors are accepted as non-pharmacological approaches in the management of diseases. During the pandemic, individuals started to use the internet to get information and protect their health. Methods: The identified healthy lifestyle terms were searched in the Google Trends (GT) for the last five years in five countries. Analysis: We use Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn's test and Mann Whitney U test. Results: While there was a decrease in the frequency of searches for healthy nutrition after the pandemic compared to before the pandemic in Turkiye, the USA and the UK, there was an increase in Brazil. The increase frequency of searches for alcohol cessation after the pandemic was statistically significant in the USA, Brazil and the UK. In Turkiye, the USA, Brazil, the increase in the frequency of searches for the physical exercise topic after the pandemic compared to before the pandemic was statistically significant. Conclusion: It can be concluded that during the pandemic, there was a significant increase in public interest in most of the healthy lifestyle terms in the five countries identified and there was an awareness to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

在COVID-19大流行之前和期间,公众对健康生活方式改变的兴趣:谷歌趋势分析
健康的生活方式行为被认为是治疗疾病的非药物方法。在大流行期间,个人开始使用互联网获取信息并保护自己的健康。方法:在五个国家的谷歌趋势(GT)中搜索过去五年确定的健康生活方式术语。分析:采用Kruskal-Wallis检验、Dunn’s检验和Mann Whitney U检验。结果:虽然在土耳其、美国和英国,与疫情前相比,疫情后健康营养的搜索频率有所下降,但在巴西却有所增加。在美国、巴西和英国,大流行后搜索戒酒的频率增加具有统计学意义。在土耳其、美国和巴西,与大流行前相比,大流行后对体育锻炼主题的搜索频率有所增加,这在统计上具有显著意义。结论:可以得出的结论是,在大流行期间,在所确定的五个国家中,公众对大多数健康生活方式的兴趣显著增加,并且有了采取健康生活方式的意识。
