Abstract

The Hertfordshire Cohort Study COVID-19 extension is a telephone-based questionnaire, administered to Hertfordshire Cohort Study participants who have recently being taking part in a behavioural study of nutrition and physical activity. The questionnaire focusses on the impact on daily living, social isolation and lifestyle during the 2020 Lockdown. The work will help us understand how older people living in the community were impacts by the lockdown and how support could be improved in the future. We would also like to understand how Public Health messages can be improved for older people during future pandemics.
