Abstract

Introduction

We compared the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on mental health (MH) and physical activity (PA) between US adults who identify as lesbian, gay men, bisexual, queer, asexual, and pansexual (LGBQAP) and heterosexual US adults.

Method

Participants completed online questionnaires to assess PA and MH.

Results

No difference in MH was identified between LGBQAP and heterosexual participants prior to lockdown, however LGBQAP participants reported significantly worse mental health during lockdown. No group differences were found in PA, but all participants exhibited a decline in PA during lockdown.

Conclusion

This study highlights the differential impact of social restrictions on marginalized populations.

COVID-19 限制对 LGBQAP 和异性恋成年人心理健康和身体活动的影响

摘要

介绍

我们比较了被认定为女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、酷儿、无性恋和泛性恋 (LGBQAP) 的美国成年人与异性恋美国成年人之间的 COVID-19 封锁对心理健康 (MH) 和身体活动 (PA) 的影响。

方法

参与者完成了在线问卷调查以评估 PA 和 MH。

结果

在锁定之前，LGBQAP 和异性恋参与者之间的 MH 没有差异，但是 LGBQAP 参与者报告说在锁定期间心理健康状况明显更差。在 PA 中未发现组间差异，但所有参与者在锁定期间均表现出 PA 下降。

结论

本研究强调了社会限制对边缘化人群的不同影响。
