Yeah I’m a researcher in the field that studies stuff like this and it’s infuriating that there is no citation for this. I can probably find it but it’s just horrible “journalism” to have no citation to the subject of your article.
I haven’t looked extensively, but for the past ten minutes I’ve not been able to find any article. About 20 different news stories to say the same thing, but none of them actually link a peer reviewed published article.
And to be clear, that study does not have those conclusions:
Participants slept 27 minutes longer (95% CI 9–51), got up 38 minutes later (95% CI 25–50), and did 50 fewer minutes (95% CI -69–-29) of light physical activity during COVID-19 restrictions. Additionally, participants engaged in more cycling but less swimming, team sports and boating or sailing. Participants consumed a lower percentage of energy from protein (-0.8, 95% CI -1.5–-0.1) and a greater percentage of energy from alcohol (0.9, 95% CI 0.2–1.7). There were no changes in weight or wellbeing. Overall, the effects of COVID-19 restrictions on lifestyle were small; however, their impact on health and wellbeing may accumulate over time.
What? You don’t automatically trust “The Editorial Team’s” assertion at the bottom that “This article is based on verified sources and supported by editorial technologies” is valid? I mean they linked to a few other articles - the fact they’re only ones on their own site shouldn’t matter…
Does anyone have a link to the actual study? The article doesn’t seem to have it.

When you have to conduct a literature review just to find the results of one study there is something deeply wrong
I’m having a tough time finding it. I found this citation from an article that appeared to reference the same four year study.

🙄 “Trust me, bro!”
I got it from this totally legit article.

I know it’s legit because it has a picture of a Man Working At Home With A Laptop, Wearing A Shirt.
And nothing else!
