Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Lockdown on Anthropometric Parameters in Children 11/12 Years Old

Background: During the great lockdown in Spain due to SARS-CoV-2, in between the months of March and June 2020, dietary and physical activity habits were modified in children. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of the lockdown on anthropometric parameters in children aged 11/12 years....

The aim of the study was to determine the impact of the lockdown on anthropometric parameters in children aged 11/12 years. Methods: Fifty Spanish children aged 11/12 years (M = 11.40; SD = 0.50) participated: 33 (66%) boys and 17 (34%) girls. For data collection, we used an anthropometry kit; the Alpha-Fitness Battery, a validated instrument to assess dietary intake, habits and practices; and an ad hoc survey to collect sociodemographic and other data under investigation. Results: There were significant differences in the anthropometric parameters measured and in the results obtained for Body Mass Index (BMI) and body fat percentage pre- and post-lockdown in both boys and girls (<i>p</i> < 0.05). No significant differences were found in waist-circumference measurements (<i>p</i> > 0.05). Conclusions: There is evidence of a significant impact of the SARS-CoV-2 lockdown on anthropometric parameters in boys and girls aged 11/12 years.Oliver Ramos-ÁlvarezVíctor Arufe-GiráldezDavid Cantarero-PrietoAlba Ibáñez-GarcíaMDPI AGarticleSARS-CoV-2lockdownphysical activitychildrenanthropometric parametersNutrition.
