“…In contrast, it was indicated that the United Arab Emirates shifted its dietary pattern of a MedDiet to a Westernized diet, which consists of non-nutritious foods with high energy, saturated fats, cholesterol, and carbohydrates and is low in polyunsaturated fats, fruits, vegetables, and fiber [ 114 ]. A similar trend was observed in Italy [ 115 ], France [ 116 ], China [ 117 ], Poland [ 118 ], Kuwait [ 119 ], and the United States [ 120 ]. The results included that the COVID-19 confinement and lockdowns increased unhealthy food intake, which caused a significant weight gain.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious challenge for societies around the globe as entire populations have fallen victim to the infectious spread and have taken up social distancing. In many countries, people have had to self-isolate and to be confined to their homes for several weeks to months to prevent the spread of the virus. Social distancing measures have had both negative and positive impacts on various aspects of economies, lifestyles, education, transportation, food supply, health, social life, and mental wellbeing. On other hands, due to reduced population movements and the decline in human activities, gas emissions decreased and the ozone layer improved; this had a positive impact on Earth’s weather and environment. Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic has negative effects on human activities and positive impacts on nature. This study discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on different life aspects including the economy, social life, health, education, and the environment.

“…Among them, two presented data from various countries (Spain, Italy, Brazil, Colombia, and Chile) [13,14], three referred to the US in general [15][16][17] and one included hot spots of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Louisiana, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana and District of Columbia [18]. Six were performed in European countries; namely, two retrieved data from Italy [19,20], two from Spain [21,22], one from France [23] and one from Poland [24]; two studies were conducted in China [25,26], and one in Palestine [27]. Most of them (n = 8) were cross-sectional, and the other seven were cohort studies, while the majority were conducted in reference to the COVID-19 lockdown (n = 9), and some referred to the COVID-19 pandemic (n = 6) (Table 1).…”

Obesity in Children and Adolescents during COVID-19 Pandemic

et al. 2021

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to special circumstances and changes to everyday life due to the worldwide measures that were imposed such as lockdowns. This review aims to evaluate obesity in children, adolescents and young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A literature search was conducted to evaluate pertinent studies up to 10 November 2020. Results: A total of 15 articles were eligible; 9 identified 17,028,111 children, adolescents and young adults from 5–25 years old, 5 pertained to studies with an age admixture (n = 20,521) and one study included parents with children 5–18 years old (n = 584). During the COVID-19 era, children, adolescents and young adults gained weight. Changes in dietary behaviors, increased food intake and unhealthy food choices including potatoes, meat and sugary drinks were noted during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Food insecurity associated with financial reasons represents another concern. Moreover, as the restrictions imposed reduced movements out of the house, physical activity was limited, representing another risk factor for weight gain. Conclusions: COVID-19 restrictions disrupted the everyday routine of children, adolescents and young adults and elicited changes in their eating behaviors and physical activity. To protect them, health care providers should highlight the risk of obesity and provide prevention strategies, ensuring also parental participation. Worldwide policies, guidelines and precautionary measures should ideally be established.

“…According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), the rate of severe obesity in the US increased from 4.7% to 9.2% during 1999–2000 and 2015–2016, respectively [ 13 ]. More recently, it has been reported that people are more likely to become obese due to restrictions on physical activity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic [ 14 ]. Zhu et al reported that during the COVID-19 outbreak people spent most of their time at home, resulting in decreased physical activity and increased food intake, which was closely related to weight gain [ 15 ].…”

Soybean koji refers to steamed soybeans inoculated with microbial species. Soybean fermentation improves the health benefits of soybeans. Obesity is a serious health concern owing to its increasing incidence rate and high association with other metabolic diseases. Therefore, we investigated the effects of soybean and soybean koji on high-fat diet-induced obesity in rats. Five-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 8/group) as follows: (1) regular diet (RD), (2) high-fat diet (HFD), (3) HFD + steamed soybean (HFD+SS), and (4) HFD + soybean koji (HFD+SK). SK contained more free amino acids and unsaturated fatty acids than SS. In a rat model of obesity, SK consumption significantly alleviated the increase in weight of white adipose tissue and mRNA expression of lipogenic genes, whereas SS consumption did not. Both SS and SK reduced serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. SS and SK also inhibited lipid accumulation in the liver and white adipose tissue and reduced adipocyte size. Although both SS and SK could alleviate HFD-induced dyslipidemia, SK has better anti-obesity effects than SS by regulating lipogenesis. Overall, SK is an excellent functional food that may prevent obesity.
