Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the obesity epidemic, with both adults and children demonstrating rapid weight gain during pandemic. However, impact of having a diagnosis on this trend is not known. Methods Using longitudinal data from January 2019 to June 2023 collected by US National Institute for Health’s COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C), (age 2–18 years) positive test results (n=11,474, 53% male, mean [SD] age 5.57 [±3.29] years, 54% white, 5.2 [±2.9] BMI observations per participants) were matched negative identical demographic characteristics similar observation window. We compared percentile trajectories between cohorts, further evaluation performed patients stratified hospitalization status. Results had greater increase in %BMI p95 than (average 2.34 (±7.73) 1.46 (±6.09), p<0.0005). gained more after their before. Non-hospitalized hospitalized 2.38 (±7.65)) 1.87 (±8.54)). Mixed effect regression analyses demonstrated that these associations remained even adjusting time, demographics, baseline . Conclusions Having was associated gain, especially early Future research should explore reasons association implications future health emergencies.

The pandemic of coronavirus disease–19 (COVID-19) has a profound influence on the health population. This study aimed to assess weight changes and its relation dietary habits physical activity among adult Egyptian population during second wave COVID-19 pandemic. cross–sectional was conducted using anonymous online questionnaire. questionnaire distributed across Egypt via community–based networks, social institutional emailing lists, professional organizations collect data sociodemographic, clinical history, lifestyle habits, activity, anthropometric measurements, stressing factors. participants (n = 1000) had median (interquartile range) age 34.0 (23.0–40.0) years, with 18.7% males, 96.6% having university or postgraduate education. Among them, 69.1% reported gain, 21.3% no change, 9.6% loss. Weight loss predicted by following reports daily [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 0.50 (95% CI, 0.27–0.93), p 0.03], monthly income change [AOR 2.52 1.51–4.22), < 0.001], starting antidepressants 3.57 1.08–11.76), increase in media use 1.81 1.05–3.13), 0.03]. gain diet 1.57 1.11–2.21), 0.01], 0.49 0.35–0.69), unhealthy food intake 0.40 0.28–0.57), 0.001] More intervention programs aiming improve should be rapidly implemented reduce consequences Egyptians keep healthy weight.

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

ABSTRACT Background Previous studies have focused predominantly on socioeconomic disparities in adolescent obesity, but the sources of inequality may be more extensive. Objectives We aim to quantify and decompose opportunity (IOp) obesity caused by circumstances examine indirect effects these through key effort factors. Methods Based IOp framework previous evidence, we categorised age, gender, status, family‐school environments adolescents ( N = 9117) as obesity‐related behaviours efforts. The was quantified decomposed determine contribution each circumstance. also analysed association between sleep debt calculate magnitude effects. Results Of behaviours, only showed a significant with (OR 1.21, p < 0.05). Age gender contributed 45.97% IOp, whereas status 10.43% 43.59%. Older female whose fathers held high‐status occupations tended suffer from due debt, while opposite true for mothers exercised, children, boarders, high school students, those wealthier families. Conclusions Family‐school contribute much greater than plays an essential mediating role. government bears responsibility undertake corresponding prioritised actions.

Higher exercise blood pressure in adults correlates with many cardiometabolic markers. The aim of this study was to investigate the main determinants longitudinal variations young athletes. A retrospective conducted on adolescent athletes who underwent at least two sport-related pre-participation screening visits, including testing a standardized incremental ramp protocol treadmill. Blood assessed rest (SBPrest), 3rd minute (SBP3min), and peak (SBPpeak). Predictors response (i.e., respective changes vs. baseline (Δ)) were determined by multivariate regression models after adjustment for age, sex, follow-up duration, related SBP values, characteristics sport, ΔBMI. total 351 (mean age 13 ± 2 years, 54% boys, average duration 3.4 2.2 years) enrolled. BMI increased 1.5 1.8 kg/m2 (p < 0.001) during follow-up. At baseline, mean SBPrest 103 14 mmHg, SBP3min 124 18 SBPpeak 154 23 mmHg. significant between-visit increase (ΔSBPrest 7.0 17.4 mmHg; p 0.001), ΔSBP3min (4.8 11 ΔSBPpeak (11.7 24 observed. significantly predicted male sex 0.01), ΔBMI number practiced sports 0.05), whereas positively gender 0.01) negatively resting heart rate 0.01).
