BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Home isolation measures during the COVID-19 lockdown periods may have influenced individuals' lifestyles. The COVEAT study aimed to identify differences in children's and their parents' dietary behavior, children's body weight and parental body mass index (BMI) between two lockdown periods implemented in Greece.
In total, 61 participants (children 2-18 years and their parents) completed questionnaires about their lifestyle, body weight and height, and family socio-demographic data, during both lockdown periods (LDs) implemented in Greece (LD1 in March-May 2020; LD2 in December 2020-January 2021).
No significant differences in parents' BMI and fluctuations in children's/adolescents' body weight and BMI were observed in LD2 compared to LD1. Regarding dietary behavior, in LD2 fewer parents were found to have dinner and prepared home meals and more families reported to order fast food. Furthermore, a significant decrease in the consumption of fresh and prepacked juices and an increase in fast-food consumption were observed for children/adolescents in LD2 compared to LD1.
The findings of the COVEAT study indicate that each lockdown period had a different impact on children's/adolescents' and their parents' dietary behavior, with less favorable changes observed in LD2, suggesting that the implementation of additional lockdowns may have had a negative impact on individuals' lifestyles.
背景/目的：新冠疫情封锁期间的居家隔离措施可能影响了个人生活方式。COVEAT研究旨在确定希腊实施的两个封锁期内儿童及其父母的饮食行为、儿童体重和父母体重指数（BMI）的差异。
共有61名参与者（2至18岁的儿童及其父母）在希腊实施的两个封锁期（2020年3月至5月的LD1；2020年12月至2021年1月的LD2）完成了关于他们生活方式、体重和身高以及家庭社会人口数据的问卷调查。
与LD1相比，在LD2中未观察到父母BMI以及儿童/青少年体重和BMI波动的显著差异。关于饮食行为，在LD2中，发现吃晚餐和准备家庭餐的父母较少，更多家庭报告订购快餐。此外，与LD1相比，LD2中儿童/青少年的新鲜和预包装果汁消费量显著下降，快餐消费量增加。
COVEAT研究结果表明，每个封锁期对儿童/青少年及其父母的饮食行为都有不同影响，在LD2中观察到的有利变化较少，这表明额外实施封锁可能对个人生活方式产生了负面影响。
