Background: There are still discrepancies in the literature as to whether COVID-19 infection could impact biochemical, anthropometric, and cardiovascular markers. The purpose of this study was firstly observe effects over 12 months on Type 2 diabetes (T2D) obesity. Secondarily, we analyzed individual influence changes Methods: This is part a secondary analysis recently published article. research involved 84 participants with T2D, divided into two groups: control group (40 participants) received only medical care, while intervention (44 both care nutritional assessment. Consultations were held quarterly months, follow-up after 3 months. Data Analysis: For analysis, non-normal variables compared using Mann–Whitney test, normal unpaired t-tests. all cases, α = 0.05 p < considered significant.

The COVID-19 pandemic was a risky period for childhood obesity, due to the increase in unhealthy behaviors. Online interventions could prevent this problem. aim of study evaluate feasibility and explore effect an online program on BMI z-score Mexican schoolchildren at 4 months during pandemic. A pilot randomized controlled trial conducted with 54 children. intervention included three sessions per week nutrition physical activity, as well information parents months. control group received one digital brochure. Of enrolled, 87% completed study, attended 46% classes. At end intervention, no significant difference between groups observed (−0.02, 95% CI −0.19 0.15). However, improved their quality life daily fruit consumption. This implemented feasible, exploratory analysis showed positive trends consumption but not other secondary variables schoolchildren. Additional strategies may be needed improve attendance impact age group.
