Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Obesity in Children and Adolescents: OAJBS Publishers

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Obesity in Children and Adolescents by Hubert Mado* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)

 The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated a number of restrictions, including movement limitations and the closure of educational establishments. The shift to remote learning and staying at home during the hard times of the pandemic contributed to adverse consequences for children and adolescents. It is reported that during the pandemic there was a significant increase in eating disorders and the problem of overweight and obesity. This has been shown to be related to poor mental health, but also boredom and sedentary lifestyles. The restrictions implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the transmission of coronavirus. Nevertheless, according to the study, these restrictions exacerbated risk factors for the development of another epidemic - the obesity epidemic. As a result, we are likely to experience an increase in the number of people with obesity-related diseases in the future. However, it is important to remember that overweight and obesity can be combated, but this is more difficult to achieve in adulthood. An attempt should therefore be made to make society aware of the consequences of obesity and overweight. Furthermore, a physically and mentally healthy lifestyle should be promoted among children and adolescents.
