COVID-19 Health Adjustments in Nutrition, General Wellness, and Exercise Study
This observational study aims to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected people's physical activity, fitness, blood pressure, sleep, and mental stress. Researchers want to see if having had COVID-19, or long COVID (Post-acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection, PASC), is linked to changes in these health areas. You can join if you are 18-75 years old, have a resting blood pressure no higher than 150/90, a BMI below 35, and are free from certain metabolic or pulmonary conditions. The study will measure your blood pressure and track your activity and sleep to learn more about the long-term health effects of the pandemic. The study is looking for 100 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information without giving any specific treatments. It plans to enroll 100 participants.
- What's involved
- You will have two visits to the lab, totaling about 6 hours. You'll complete questionnaires, and for about two weeks, you'll track your blood pressure, physical activity, sleep, and diet using provided devices.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your blood pressure will be measured through study completion, which includes two visits. Ambulatory blood pressure will be measured during the second visit.

What this trial measures
- Brachial blood pressureThrough study completion (two-1.5 hour study visits)
Seated rachial blood pressure will be measured triplicate after at least 5 minutes of rest using an oscillometric device (Suntech CT 40)
- 24-hour ambulatory blood pressureDuring the second data collection visit
Participants will wear an Oscar2 (with SphygmoCor) ambulatory blood pressure monitor on their upper arm for up to 24-hours after their second study visit to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The purpose of the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is to determine blood pressure regulation over an entire day. This blood pressure monitor will be set to automatically take blood pressure every 20 minutes. The monitor records and saves each blood pressure measurement automatically.
