We conducted a systematic scoping review synthesizing appraising literature.Empirical research impacts disorder severity, prevalence, demand for treatment was searched. No sample restrictions were applied. Findings (n = 70 studies) synthesized across six themes: (a) suspected cases COVID-19; (b) perceived pandemic symptoms; (c) symptom severity pre versus pandemic; (d) pandemic-related correlates severity; (e) carers/parents; (f) experiences COVID-19.Pandemic rates probable disorders, deterioration, general mental health varied substantially.

The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate impact as well associated lockdowns or restrictions, on weight change in children adults. We searched five databases from January 2020 November 2021. included only longitudinal studies with measures before pandemic that evaluated weight, body mass index (BMI) (or BMI z ‐scores for children), waist circumference, prevalence obesity. Random effects meta‐analyses were conducted obtain pooled estimates mean difference outcomes. Subgroups age groups diabetes at baseline. bias assessed using a modified version Newcastle‐Ottawa Scale, certainty evidence Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development Evaluation (GRADE) approach.

Methodological quality rated Assessment Multiple Systematic Reviews checklist scores (AMSTAR 2) instrument generally low moderate. Small but significant increases and/or health were reported people preexisting physical conditions, children (3 reviews; SMDs ranged 0.11 0.28). Mental depression significantly increased periods social restrictions (1 review; 0.41 0.83, respectively) anxiety did not (SMD: 0.26).

The major limitations are inability quantify explain included shortage within-person data multiple studies. Conclusions small consistent deterioration particularly early has been population chronic somatic Also, associations stronger females younger age groups others.
