“…However, this fact does not agree with the results found in this study, since many authors inferred that the pandemic and social isolation brought an increase in the incidence and/or worsening of mental disorders [12], [19], [20], [51]. Do Likewise, [57] argue that children faced problems that directly influenced their mental health like adults.…”

Food Disorder during the SARS-COV-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review

Introduction: Eating disorders are not restricted to changes in eating habits, but also involve physical and emotional changes in individuals. These habits can lead to several consequences on health and quality of life. To point out the effects that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the lives of individuals with eating disorders and report its consequences on the quality of medical care, interpersonal relationships, and mental health in the context of social isolation. Materials and Methods: A systematic review of scientific articles was carried out from August to December 2021. The target files for the study were written between the years 2019 to 2021. The modalities of articles included were cohort type, randomized clinical trials and non-randomized, and case reports. Finally, to evaluate the variables, the method “The GRADE approach” was used. Results: A total of 43 articles were found. The notorious negative impact on the mental health of patients during the pandemic was observed, whether due to social, economic, and even media situations. The emergence of three major problems stands out: social restrictions, functional impairments, and limitations of access to professional support. Consequently, as a way of seeking comfort, many people used food as a method of relief, increasing the intensity and incidence of overweight/obesity and worsening emotional well-being. On the other hand, other individuals started to practice excessive physical activity, which also becomes harmful. Another unfavorable factor for the health of individuals was the commitment to medical care, due to the various safety protocols and restrictions imposed against the spread of the virus and the population's own fear. Conclusion: The pandemic had a great impact on individual and collective quality of life, as evidenced by the studies found. However, its long-term consequences are still unclear. There was a proven accentuation in cases of psychiatric disorders (such as anxiety and depression) and in eating disorders, especially in the young adult population and, in general, individuals with a history of mental and eating disorders.

“…Previous studies have shown an increase in childhood obesity due to lifestyle changes during the pandemic. 18 A retrospective study conducted in South Korea reported that the percentage of children who had overweight or obesity increased from 24.5% to 38.1% during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown within 1 year. 19 Similarly, in Australia, the percentage of children with overweight or obesity aged 7-10 years increased from 20.7% in September 2019 to 26.2% in March 2021.…”

SummaryThe persistent ascension of childhood obesity on a global scale constitutes a significant quandary. The prevalence of childhood obesity in Japan peaked in the early 2000s and has been reported to have declined since then, but recent data and its trend including the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic era are not available. Moreover, there is a dearth of studies examining the correlation between the trend in childhood obesity and exercise habits over the past decade. This study aims to examine the changes in the prevalence of obesity, physical fitness, and exercise habits over the past 10 years in Japanese children. We investigated the prevalence of childhood obesity in Japan, using the School Health Statistics Survey data from 2012 to 2021. The dataset has a sample size representative of children nationwide and includes variables for obesity, such as height, weight, and age. Data were classified into groups by sex and age (6–8, 9–11, and 12–14 years age). Children weighing 20% or more of the standard body weight are classified as obese. The annual percentage changes and average annual percentage changes were estimated using the joinpoint regression model. We also examined the trends in the physical fitness test score and exercise time. Average annual percentage changes of boys increased, especially in the 6‐ to 8‐year age group (3.4%–4.6%). For girls, average annual percentage changes had increased in 6‐ to 8‐year (2.5%–4.0%) and 9‐ to 11‐year (0.9%–2.2%) age groups. Since the late 2010s, significantly increasing annual percentage changes were observed in 12‐ to 14‐year age boys (6.7%–8.9%) and girls of many age groups (2.6%–8.6%). The physical fitness test score and exercise time showed decreasing trends since the late 2010s. Childhood obesity may have generally risen in Japan, in the last decade. Encouraging healthy eating and physical activity through school policies and curricula is necessary.

“…It was not possible to pool the data into a statistical meta-analysis also due to the imprecision of the estimates; therefore, we conducted a narrative synthesis with a summary of the findings (a synthesis without meta-analysis; SWiM) [ 24 ]. We presented the strength of evidence of outcomes with the statistically significant results ( p < 0.05) and calculated Cohen’s d effect sizes for statistically significant outcomes, where means and standard deviations were available and marked them as trivial (effect size greater than 0 and lower than 0.2), small (effect size greater than or equal to 0.2), medium (effect size greater than or equal to 0.5) or large (effect size and greater than or equal to 0.8) [ 25 , 26 ]. We also assessed the certainty of the evidence according to the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) using the GRADEpro GDT tool considering the following domains: risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness, imprecision and overall certainty level.…”

Despite the restoration of the mechanical stability of the knee joint after ACL reconstruction (ACLR), patients often experience postoperative limitations. To our knowledge, there are no systematic reviews analyzing additional physiotherapy interventions implementing standard rehabilitation programs in the early postoperative phase after ACLR. The objective of this study was to analyze the additional physiotherapy interventions implemented in standard rehabilitation programs that improve early-stage ACLR rehabilitation. For this systematic review, we followed the PRISMA guidelines. In March 2022 we conducted a literature review using electronic databases. Primary outcomes were pain, edema, muscle strength, ROM, and knee function. The risk of bias and scientific quality of included studies were assessed with the RoB 2, ROBINS-I and PEDro scale. For the review, we included 10 studies that met the inclusion criteria (total n = 3271). The included studies evaluated the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping, Whole-body vibration, Local Vibration Training, Trigger Point Dry Needling, High Tone Power Therapy, alternating magnetic field, and App-Based Active Muscle Training Program. Most of the additional physiotherapy interventions improved pain, edema, ROM, knee muscle strength, or knee function in early-stage postoperative ACL rehabilitation. Except for one study, no adverse events occurred in the included studies, which demonstrates the safety of the discussed physiotherapy interventions. Further in-depth research is needed in this area.
