摘要：Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)has had a substantial global health impact,with over 765 million confirmed cases and nearly 7 million deaths.[1]In South Korea,stringent lockdown policy hea-vily restricted the daily activities for over two years,resul-ting in widespread public health issues.Approximately 46％of Koreans experienced a weight gain of more than 4.9 kg,contributing to stress-related eating disorders,obesity,and poor management of chronic conditions.[2]Elderly po-pulations,already vulnerable due to multi-morbidities,faced heightened risks of hypertension,diabetes mellitus,cerebrovascular diseases,chronic kidney failure,and deme-ntia.As South Korea now transitions into a super-aged so-ciety,understanding the effects of prolonged isolation on fr-ail elderly is critical.This study evaluates the body compo-sition and cardiovascular changes in individuals aged 65 years and older during the COVID-19 pandemic,emphasi-zing the need for precise quarantine guidelines and geriat-ric care.
