“…The study also highlights the vulnerability of children and adolescents with preexisting severe illnesses to the deterioration of their health conditions, especially in terms of mental health. These findings are consistent with a recent German population-based survey study [31][32][33][34][35]. Di Renzo et al, reported a population-based survey of daily lifestyle and dietary behaviors in Italy as early as April 2020, at the height of the first COVID-19 lockdown.…”

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nutritional patterns, eating behavior, dietary content, and health-related quality of life (HrQoL) of adolescents with preexisting obesity. Methods: Anthropometric and metabolic parameters were measured, and validated questionnaires on eating habits, nutritional content, and HrQoL were administered to 264 adolescents with obesity during the COVID-19 pandemic (June 2020–June 2022) and 265 adolescents with obesity before the pandemic (from June 2017 to June 2019). Results: Both study cohorts were comparable in age and sex distribution. Significant differences were found between the COVID-19 and pre-COVID-19 cohorts in HOMA-index (3.8 (interquartile range [IQR])): 3.3; 4.1) vs. 3.2 (IQR: 2.8; 3.5, p < 0.001), total cholesterol (208.8 mg/dL (IQR: 189.9; 214.5) vs. 198.5 mg/dL (IQR: 189.5; 207.4), p < 0.001), and GPT (93.4 (IQR 88.7; 96.5) vs. 72.8 U/L (IQR 68.9; 75.7), p < 0.001). The COVID-19 cohort reported significantly higher consumption of obesity-promoting food components, such as soft drinks, meat, sausages, fast food and delivery food, chocolate, and sweets. There was also a significant decrease in cognitive hunger control (p = 0.002) and an increase in distractibility potential (p = 0.001) while eating. HrQoL was significantly lower in the COVID-19 cohort (p = 0.001). Conclusions: This study reveals the adverse effect of COVID-19 on nutrition, dietary content, and HrQoL in adolescents with preexisting obesity. These findings underscore the importance of tailored preventive and treatment strategies for addressing the specific challenges of disruptive events such as pandemics, especially in population-based context.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a hereditary disorder characterized by the formation of numerous fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys, leading to progressive renal failure and various extrarenal complications, including hypertension. This review explores the genetic basis of ADPKD, including emerging evidence of epigenetic mechanisms in modulating gene expression and disease progression in ADPKD. Furthermore, it proposes to examine the pathological characteristics of this condition at the nephrological, cardiovascular, nutritional, and psychological levels, emphasizing that the follow-up of patients with ADPKD should be multidisciplinary from a young pediatric age.
