Comparing quantified differences in lifestyle factors and QOL with perceived changes. We derived categories of perceived changes in lifestyle and QOL reported during lockdown (same, less/better now, more/worse now) with the quantified change of the report during lockdown compared to the report pre-lockdown. By category of perceived change, we show the distribution of the quantified change for all participants (prior visit April 2016 – March 2020, n = 1850, mean time before lockdown = 1.76 years, SD = 0.93; left column) and restricted to those with prior visit < 1 year before lockdown (March 2019 – March 2020, n = 524; right column) where information on both perceived and quantified changes was availble. Shown are (A) difference in number of cigarettes smoked daily (among current smokers at survey or prior visit, 43 smokers in left column, 13 smokers in right column), (B) difference in number of alcoholic drinks consumed daily (among alcohol consumers at survey or prior visit, n = 1357 or 385, respectively), (C) difference in QOL score (n = 1657 or 462, respectively)
