Purpose The objective of this scoping review was to summarize systematically the available literature investigating the relationships between the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and movement behaviors (physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep) of school-aged children (aged 5−11 years) and youth (aged 12−17 years) in the first year of the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods Searches for published literature were conducted across 6 databases on 2 separate search dates (November 25, 2020, and January 27, 2021). Results were screened and extracted by 2 reviewers (DCP and KR) independently, using Covidence. Basic numeric analysis and content analysis were undertaken to present thematically the findings of included studies according to the associated impact on each movement behavior. Results A total of 1486 records were extracted from database searches; of those, 150 met inclusion criteria and were included for analysis. Of 150 articles, 110 were empirical studies examining physical activity ( n = 77), sedentary behavior/screen time ( n = 58), and sleep ( n = 55). Results consistently reported declines in physical-activity time, increases in screen time and total sedentary behavior, shifts to later bed and wake times, and increases in sleep duration. The reported impacts on movement behaviors were greater for youth than for children. Conclusion The COVID-19 pandemic is related to changes in the quantity and nature of physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep among children and youth. There is an urgent need for policy makers, practitioners, and researchers to develop solutions for attenuating adverse changes in physical activity and screen time among children and youth.

“…COVID-19 disease, which gave rise to the death of approximately 3 million people worldwide, still continues as a pandemic (World Health Organization, 2020). A wide range of psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety, anger, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depression, and anorexia were observed in children and adolescents during pandemic period (Cao et al, 2020; Jiao et al, 2020; Ünver et al, 2020; Wang et al, 2020). Even the situation is worse for refugee children.…”

Background To examine the admissions to a refugee child outpatient mental health unit in the COVID-19 pandemic and to compare them with the pre-pandemic period. Methods This retrospective observational study, planned through the hospital information system and patient files, included the 1-year number of outpatient unit admissions, sociodemographic, and clinical data. Results Before the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2019–February 2020), a total of 2322 patients (local and refugee) applied to the same unit, and 236 (10.1%) of these patients were refugees. Since the commencement of the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey (March 2020–February 2021), 1209 patients applied, and 10.4% ( n = 126) of them were refugees. While 19.66 ± 6.31 refugees applied per month in the pre-pandemic period, this number decreased to 10.50 ± 5.31 during the pandemic period ( p = 0.01). During the pandemic period, there was a significant decrease in the number of female refugee patient admissions. In addition, while admissions for external disorders increased significantly during the pandemic period ( x 2 = 13.99, p = 0.001), admissions for internal disorders decreased significantly ( x 2 = 4.54, p = 0.03). Conclusions The decrease in the mental health unit demands with the pandemic may lead to negative consequences in the long term. To determine mental health and psychological needs of patients during the outbreak will greatly contribute to the pandemic management process.

“…In some countries, like USA or Australia, there has been an increase of the number of AN cases registered in Pediatric wards [5]. There has also been described several cases that patients that developed AN during confinement [6], such as our current case. Even though there has not been established a causal relationship between social distancing during the pandemic and the development of eating disorders, it is important to take them into account as important precipitating factors in vulnerable patients, such as young patients.…”

The new coronavirus 2019-nCoV disease (COVID 19) has had a huge impact on global health. On the one hand, the measures adopted by health authorities, according to the needs of public health, have had a negative effect in mental health. The isolation, the quarantine, the social distancing and the confinement have drastically modified our eating habits and exercise patterns and in vulnerable people have triggered or aggravated eating disorders. Moreover, there has been a change in the organization of medical assistance, which used to be all face-to-face interviews and has now became mostly phone call consults. This has affected the quality of medical assistance.Hereafter we are going to describe a patient's case that was diagnosed with severe anorexia nervosa during the COVID-19 confinement in Spain.
