Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Coronavirus disease-19 (CoVID-19) on body and daily activity in Kurdistan Region, Iraq. This study was conducted among 320 participants using an online application. The questionnaire included items related to negative impact of CoVID-19 on daily life. The weight gaining included little (46 %) and severe (25 %). Sleep disturbance was less affected (24 % little and 8 % severe). The impact on daily living routines included 38 % little and 50 % severe (p= 0.04). Notably, 47 % (p = 0.001) of participants had severe deacrease in daily output (p=0.041). The quarantine and disturbed lifestyle during COVID-19 caused significant changes in body and daily activity or output in Northern Iraq.
