“…In our study, 7.2%-72.4% of all participants including both adults and children , experienced an increase in body weight during the confinement periods (21,23,25,26,33,(35)(36)(37)(39)(40)(41)43,44,(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(49)(50)(51)(52)55,57,(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68) ( Figure 2).

Systematic review of the effects of pandemic confinements on body weight and their determinants

Pandemics and subsequent lifestyle restrictions such as ‘lockdowns’ may have unintended consequences, including alterations in body weight. This systematic review assesses the impact of pandemic confinement on body weight and identifies contributory factors. A comprehensive literature search was performed in seven electronic databases and in gray sources from their inception until July 1st 2020 with an update in PubMed and Scopus on February 1st 2021. In total, 2,361 unique records were retrieved, of which 41 studies were identified eligible: 1 case control study, 14 cohort and 26 cross-sectional studies (469, 362 total participants). The participants ranged in age from 6–86 years. The proportion of female participants ranged from 37% to 100%. Pandemic confinements were associated with weight gain in 7.2%–72.4% of participants and weight loss in 11.1%–32.0% of participants. Weight gain ranged from 0.6 (±1.3) to 3.0 (±2.4) kg, and weight loss ranged from 2.0 (±1.4) to 2.9 (±1.5) kg. Weight gain occurred predominantly in participants who were already overweight or obese. Associated factors included increased consumption of unhealthy food with changes in physical activity and altered sleep patterns. Weight loss during the pandemic was observed in individuals with previous low weight, and those who ate less and were more physically active before lock down. Maintaining a stable weight was more difficult in populations with reduced income, particularly in individuals with lower educational attainment. The findings of this systematic review highlight the short-term effects of pandemic confinements.

“…however, our approach is the same used by the majority of studies published to date on this topic (7,21,22,29,35,36,37), and is likely to be a pragmatic solution to conducting research on a large sample in relation to an unexpected event (36, 37). Also, from a methodological point of view, either studies using validated tools (e.g.…”

Objective: To evaluate changes in ultra-processed food (UPF) intake and its major correlates during the first Italian lockdown (March 9 -May 3 2020). Design: Retrospective observational study. Setting: Italy. Participants: We analysed 2,992 subjects (mean age 57.9±15.3 y, 40.4% men). Individual participant data were pooled from 2 retrospective cohorts: 1) The Moli-LOCK cohort consists of 1,501 adults, a portion of the larger Moli-sani Study (n=24,325; 2005-2010) who were administered a phone-based questionnaire to assess lifestyles and psychological factors during confinement; 2) the ALT RISCOVID-19 is a web-based survey of 1,491 individuals distributed throughout Italy who self-responded to the same questionnaire by using Google forms. UPF was defined according to NOVA classification based on degree of food processing. An UPF score was created by assigning 1 point to increased consumption, -1 to decreased and 0 point for unchanged intakes of 19 food items, with higher values indicating an increase in UPF during confinement. Results: Overall, 37.5% of the population reported some increase in UPF (UPF score ≥1). Adults were more likely to decrease UPF (multivariable regression coefficient β=-1.94; 95%CI: -2.72,-1.17 for individuals aged >75 y as compared to 18-39 y) as did individuals from southern Italian regions as compared to Northern inhabitants (β=-1.32; -1.80,-0.84), while UPF lowering associated with increased exercise (β=-0.90; -1.46,-0.35) and weight loss (β=-1.05; -1.51, -0.59) during confinement. Conclusions: During the first Italian lockdown, about 40% of our population switched to unfavourable eating as reflected by increased UPF intake and this may have long-term effects for health.

Pandemics and subsequent lifestyle restrictions such as lockdowns may have unintended consequences including alterations in body weight. Understanding the impact and the mechanisms affecting body weight is paramount for planning effective public health measures for both now and future lockdown-type situations. This systematic review assesses and the impact of pandemic confinement on body weight and to identifies contributory factors. A comprehensive literature search was performed in seven electronic databases and in gray sources from their inception until 1st July 2020 with an update in PubMed and Scopus on 1st February 2021. In total, 2,361 unique records were retrieved, of which 41 studies were identified eligible: 1 case-control study, 14 cohort and 26 cross-sectional studies (469362 total participants). Weight gain occurred predominantly in participants who were already overweight or obese. Associated factors included increased consumption of unhealthy food with decreased intake of healthy fresh fruits and vegetables, changes in physical activity, and altered sleep patterns. Weight loss during the pandemic was observed in individuals with previous low weight, and those who ate less and were more physically active before lock down. Associated factors included increased intake of fruits and vegetables, drinking more water and consuming no alcohol. Maintaining a stable weight was more difficult in populations with reduced income particularly in individuals with lower educational attainment. The findings of this systematic review highlight the short-term effects of pandemic confinements. Learning from the lockdown experience is fundamental if we are to prepare for the next wave; a holistic, reactive, tailored response is needed involving multiple providers.
