Predictors of cigarette smoking and physical inactivity among teachers during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Germany: a cross-sectional analysis of a nationwide online survey
The predictors revealed in the present study can help target interventions for teachers who are at higher risk for unhealthy behaviors during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and potential future pandemics. In particular, the alarming finding that more than three-quarters of teachers were physically inactive during the pandemic should place special emphasis on improving physical activity.
