Discussion

Cross-sectional study reveals changes in health behaviors among children, indicating socio-demographic disparities related to COVID-19.

Approximately 1/3 of children did not meet screen or physical activity recommendations, highlighting a concerning trend.
During the pandemic, about 51.9% of children experienced increased screen time, while physical activity remained largely unchanged for 72.9%.
This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 2104 children, exploring socio-demographic correlates of health behavior changes.
Findings suggest that older age and socio-economic disadvantages may worsen health behaviors, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions.

Richard et al. (2025) studied this question.
