During the pandemic, increases in physical activity were associated with: 😴 improved sleep 🍎 better nutrition 🍺 more alcohol consumption 🛋 increased sedentary time in our latest study of 52,784 @C19socialstudy participants. @UCL_BSH @UCL_IEHC nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

Physical activity supports our well-being. As COVID-19 suppressed the movement behaviours of so many, how did our other health behaviours change in parallel? Pleased to write this piece with @andrewp_steptoe @jessicakbone @FeifeiBu & @Daisy_Fancourt nature.com/articles/s41598-0…
