Description
Summary:In the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of people have had to stay in isolation for months. Children did not go to school for a long time, they spent much more time at home and were sedentary. They also spent much more time on screen-related activities (personal computer (PC), mobile phone, music player, tablet, game console, and television (TV). These situations have had various effects on children and adolescents. Undoubtedly, long-term restrictions and lifestyle changes have had effects on individuals with childhood obesity, pubertal progression, and type 1 diabetes (T1D). In this review, articles investigating the effect of COVID-19 quarantine/pandemic on adolescence, childhood obesity and diabetes were compiled and the effect of the COVID pandemic on these frequently encountered situations in pediatric endocrine practice was tried to be revealed.
