To describe the economic, lifestyle and nutritional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on parents, guardians and children in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.
Data from the SEANUTS II cohort were used. Questionnaires, including a COVID-19 questionnaire, were used to study the impact of the pandemic on parents/guardians and their children with respect to work status, household expenditures and children's dietary intake and lifestyle behaviours.
Data were collected in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam between May 2019 and April 2021.
In total, 9203 children, aged 0·5-12·9 years, including their parents/guardians.
Children and their families were significantly affected by the pandemic. Although the impact of lockdown measures on children's food intake has been relatively mild in all countries, food security was negatively impacted, especially in Indonesia. Surprisingly, in Malaysia, lockdown resulted in overall healthier dietary patterns with more basic food groups and less discretionary foods. Consumption of milk/dairy products, however, decreased. In the other countries, intake of most food groups did not change much during lockdown for households based on self-reporting. Only in rural Thailand, some marginal decreases in food intakes during lockdown persisted after lockdown. Physical activity of children, monthly household income and job security of the parents/guardians were negatively affected in all countries due to the pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted societies in South-East Asia. To counteract negative effects, economic measures should be combined with strategies to promote physical activity and eating nutrient-adequate diets to increase resilience of the population.
描述新冠疫情对马来西亚、印度尼西亚、泰国和越南的父母、监护人及儿童在经济、生活方式和营养方面的影响。
使用了东南亚营养状况研究（SEANUTS）二期队列的数据。通过问卷调查，包括一份新冠疫情问卷，来研究疫情对父母/监护人及其子女在工作状况、家庭支出、儿童饮食摄入和生活方式行为方面的影响。
数据于2019年5月至2021年4月在马来西亚、印度尼西亚、泰国和越南收集。
共有9203名年龄在0.5至12.9岁的儿童及其父母/监护人。
儿童及其家庭受到疫情的显著影响。尽管所有国家的封锁措施对儿童食物摄入量的影响相对较小，但粮食安全受到了负面影响，尤其是在印度尼西亚。令人惊讶的是，在马来西亚，封锁导致总体饮食模式更健康，基本食物种类增多， discretionary食物减少。然而，牛奶/乳制品的消费量下降了。在其他国家，根据自我报告，封锁期间大多数食物种类的摄入量变化不大。只有在泰国农村地区，封锁期间食物摄入量的一些小幅下降在封锁结束后仍然存在。由于疫情，所有国家儿童的身体活动、家庭月收入以及父母/监护人的工作保障均受到负面影响。
新冠疫情对东南亚社会产生了重大影响。为了抵消负面影响，应将经济措施与促进身体活动和摄入营养充足饮食的策略相结合，以增强民众的恢复力。
