Because of restrictions and limitations during the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of individuals had sedentary lives. In this study, we wanted to investigate the impact of sedentary lifestyle on the lipid profiles of adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. All patients whose cholesterol profile was evaluated between 01.03.2019 and 31.12.2021 were gathered from electronic patient records for this retrospective research. According to the dates of their admission to the outpatient clinics, the records of the patients aged 18 to 65 years were separated into three categories: pre-pandemic (March 2019–March 2020), restriction (March 2020–June 2020), and post-restriction (June 2020 –Post) periods. All patients accepted and enrolled in the trial had complete data. Over the course of the three examinations, the cholesterol panels of 376 study participants were analyzed. In the pandemic period higher total cholesterol levels, total cholesterol/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio, and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), results were observed than the pre-pandemic period. The LDL-C levels increased compared to pre-pandemic levels, and were higher during the pandemic than in the post-pandemic normalization period. Restrictions on social activities during the epidemic had a deleterious impact on lipid profiles by encouraging sedentary behavior. Although the process of normalization after the pandemic improved, the pandemic was unable to return cholesterol levels to their pre-pandemic levels.
