Uncertainty and Psychological Distress during lockdown during the COVID-19 Pandemic: the young adults most at risk 2020-09-25 .txt text/plain 2547 147 49 This study evaluates psychological distress related to the crisis and identifies predictive factors of anxiety/depression according to age. Youth reported lower levels of living space, occupational activity, social contact and alcohol use, but higher anxiety, depression and uncertainty than older participants. This study proposes to assess the association between the proximity to contamination, lockdown conditions, alcohol use and intolerance to uncertainty, and anxiety and depressive symptoms separately among youth, middle-aged and older populations. Participants aged 18-30 years reported significantly lower levels of living environment, occupational activity, social contacts, frequency and quantity of alcohol use, but higher levels of anxiety, depression and uncertainty than older participants. A considerable percentage of the population suffers from anxiety and depressive symptoms related to the COVID-19 lockdown and it can be explained by an intolerance of uncertainty, whatever the age of the people. ./cache/cord-344069-f32itts9.txt ./txt/cord-344069-f32itts9.txt
