Leger: Perspectives of Canadians and Americans on lifestyle changes during the pandemic. 

“Hello,

We’re pleased to share the latest results of our North American Tracker with you.

This edition explores the perspectives of Canadians and Americans on lifestyle changes during the pandemic.

As many plan to get back to “normal” soon, we asked Canadians and Americans to look back on the past year and tell us how their lifestyles and habits ended up changing.

We regularly survey Canadians and Americans to explore their perspectives on COVID-19 and other current events.

This survey is conducted using our representative LEO (Leger Opinion) panel, in partnership with the Association for Canadian Studies (ACS), and published in The Canadian Press.

LIFESTYLE AND HABIT CHANGES DURING THE PANDEMIC
  • 29% of Canadians and 23% of Americans admit that their (and/or their family’s) health, finances, and lifestyle are worse off than before the pandemic.
  • Among Canadians, the following things have increased since the start of the pandemic:
    • 39% have gained weight;
    • 16% have increased their alcohol consumption.

    • 37% have decreased their level of physical activity;
