Abstract
This study utilizes longitudinal survey data to 1) explore how lifestyle factors changed during the COVID-19 pandemic and 2) assess how modifiable lifestyle factors correlated with self-reported work productivity.
Medical center employees participated in a health risk assessment (HRA) as part of wellness programming in the years 2019 and 2020. Responses were compared before and during the pandemic. A regression model assessed the association between productivity and self-reported lifestyle factors.
18049 survey participants completed a total of 26905 HRAs. Exercise and sleep were increased during the pandemic. Regression models demonstrated that social connectedness had the greatest association with productivity.
This large-scale study is the first to report on a comprehensive set of lifestyle factor changes over the first 2 years of the pandemic. The highest contributing modifiable factor to work productivity was social connectedness.
