Background and study aims
Due to the confinement (due to COVID-19), it is likely that families have more time to cook and could improve their eating habits. Although it should be kept in mind that this would not necessarily increase the quality of the diet. Indeed, families could also consume a higher caloric intake because they spend more time at home. On the other hand, confinement would worsen physical activity habits in adolescents. Based on this, our hypothesis is that confinement may change the lifestyle of adolescents. These new habits could be fixed and have an impact on their health at adult life. For this reason, it is important to generate studies that analyse their eating and physical activity behaviors. We aimed to describe the lifestyle of adolescents in Spain, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Italy during confinement by COVID-19, and the possible changes in their dietary and physical activity habits due to this situation compared to those observed before confinement.
Aim: Understanding lifestyle habits of adolescents during social confinement will help public health authorities to reshape their reactions to future, unavoidable confinements.
Who can participate?
The study population comprised adolescents residing in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Spain and Italy, who filled out an online questionnaire. To be included in the research, the adolescent had to be aged between 10 and 19 years old and 11 months; present no food restrictions and provide an authorization to participate in the study.
What does the study involve?
The study involve filling a self-administered online survey questionnaire that is divided into modules: sociodemographic characteristics, dietary practices before and during confinement, and lifestyle before and during confinement.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The main benefit of understanding the adolescents’ nutrition and physical activity behavior during COVID-19 lockdown is the possible development of future policies. Indeed, this information will help public health authorities reshape future policies on adolescents’ s nutritional and physical activity recommendations, in preparation for future pandemics.
No risk for participants are envisioned as the study only involve filling an online survey.
