Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic may have contributed to food habit changes, including some negative ones that may increase the risk of overweight and obesity. The aim of the study was to analyze the association between adolescents\' food habits, body mass change, as well as physical activity level in a population-based sample within the Diet and Activity of Youth during COVID-19 (DAY-19) Study. The DAY-19 Study was conducted in a cohort of 1333 students (aged 10-16 years) recruited in schools after stratified random quota sampling of primary schools (sampling counties within voivodeships and schools within counties) in June 2020. The food habits were assessed for the period of the COVID-19 pandemic and the period before the COVID-19 pandemic while using Adolescent Food Habits Checklist (AFHC). The body mass changes were assessed based on body weight and height for the period of the COVID-19 pandemic and the period before the COVID-19 pandemic while using Polish growth reference values. The physical activity changes were assessed based on the subjective assessment of adolescents. It was stated that for female adolescents declaring body mass gain during the COVID-19 pandemic the highest AFHC purchase scores (healthy purchase habits) (p < 0.0001) were accompanied by the lowest AFHC consumption score (unhealthy consumption habits) (p < 0.0001), as well as for female adolescents declaring physical activity decrease during the COVID-19 pandemic the highest AFHC purchase scores (healthy purchase habits) were observed (p = 0.0333). It was stated that for male adolescents declaring physical activity increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, the highest AFHC consumption scores (healthy consumption habits) were observed (p = 0.0003). In the case of a majority of participants, the general food habits were unchanged, which was observed mainly for food habits associated with food preparation. More food habits changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in body mass changes were observed in females than in male adolescents. Body mass gain during the COVID-19 pandemic in adolescents may have resulted from unhealthy consumption habits, accompanied by decreased physical activity, in spite of the fact that this sub-group presented healthy purchase habits, which was observed especially for female adolescents.
摘要:
COVID-19大流行可能导致了饮食习惯的改变,包括一些可能增加超重和肥胖风险的负面因素。这项研究的目的是分析青少年饮食习惯之间的关系,体重变化,以及COVID-19(第19天)研究期间青少年饮食和活动中基于人群的样本中的身体活动水平。DAY-19研究是在2020年6月对小学进行分层随机配额抽样后在学校招募的1333名学生(10-16岁)进行的。使用青少年饮食习惯清单(AFHC)评估了COVID-19大流行期间和COVID-19大流行之前的饮食习惯。根据COVID-19大流行期间和COVID-19大流行前期间的体重和身高评估体重变化,同时使用波兰的生长参考值。根据青少年的主观评估来评估身体活动的变化。有人指出,对于在COVID-19大流行期间宣布体重增加的女性青少年,最高的AFHC购买得分(健康的购买习惯)(p<0.0001)伴随着最低的AFHC消费得分(不健康的消费习惯)(p<0.0001),对于在COVID-19大流行期间宣布身体活动减少的女性青少年,观察到最高的AFHC购买得分(健康的购买习惯)(p=0.0333)。据指出,对于在COVID-19大流行期间宣布身体活动增加的男性青少年,AFHC消费评分最高(健康消费习惯)(p=0.0003).在大多数参与者的情况下,一般的饮食习惯没有改变,这主要是与食物准备相关的饮食习惯。与COVID-19大流行相关的饮食习惯变化导致女性比男性青少年更多的体重变化。青少年COVID-19大流行期间的体重增加可能是由于不健康的消费习惯,伴随着体力活动的减少,尽管这个小组提出了健康的购买习惯,特别是在女性青少年中观察到的。
