The total number of study participants was 31,360, and the frequency analysis and descriptive statistics analysis were conducted to review the demographic characteristics according to decreased and non-decreased in PA due to COVID-19. The values of region, housing type and education were expressed as frequency (n) and percentage (%), and the values of age and body composition were presented as the mean ± standard deviation.
