The purpose of this descriptive study is to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on the noncommunicable disease patient group in Map Ta Phut District, Rayong Province.The parameters study were body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, blood lipids, and kidney function. The sample consisted of 385 noncommunicable disease patients obtained from Hosxp program of hospital medical records and collected in 2019-2020 years; data were analyzed using descriptive statistics as follows: amount, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and percentage of change; The statistical significance for the inferential statistics used to compare by paired sample t-test.

The patients' creatinine levels were significantly lower than before the epidemic (p<0.05).
