Study on How COVID-19 Affects Nutrition, Wellness, and Exercise Tracking Heart, Sleep, and Stress Health in Adults Ages 18 to 75

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating whether the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted peoples physical activity, fitness, blood pressure, sleep, and mental stress to understand its long-term effects on health. The study looks at how prior COVID-19 severity or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection PASC might be linked to changes in cardiovascular health and overall wellness. Participants will take part in two visits at the Neurovascular Physiology Laboratory, with detailed data collected to explore these health aspects. During the first visit, participants complete questionnaires about their health behaviors, sleep, stress, diet, and mental well-being. They will then track their sleep and physical activity with wearable devices for about 14 days, record their diet for at least 3 days, and measure blood pressure and urine for 24 hours. The second visit involves returning devices and undergoing various tests, including body composition scans, cardiovascular health measurements, a fitness test on a stationary bike, blood and urine sample collection, and a cold-water hand test to assess nervous system response to stress. Participants involvement includes completing questionnaires, wearing tracking devices, and attending two study visits totaling about 6 hours. Researchers will measure blood pressure, sleep quality, diet, cardiovascular fitness, immune markers, and body composition. Safety is carefully monitored during exercise and testing. The primary outcomes focus on blood pressure measurements, while secondary outcomes include sleep duration and quality, and diet quality. The study aims to provide valuable insights into how COVID-19 affects long-term health.
