Article Synopsis
- - Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, governments implemented non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) like lockdowns and school closures to control virus spread, but these measures have led to unexpected negative impacts on public health.
- - A review of various studies shows that NPIs significantly worsened mental health, physical activity levels, and rates of overweight and obesity, with mixed effects on alcohol and tobacco use, highlighting health inequalities among different demographic groups.
- - The study suggests that when evaluating the effectiveness of NPIs, it's crucial to balance their intended benefits against their detrimental effects on other health aspects, offering insights for future pandemic responses.
