Obesity among children is rising in all world regions and the growing possibilities of pandemics have raised the prevalence of childhood obesity as well. To support this context, an immense impaction was seen on all classes of society during and after the recent coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, however the effects on children and adolescents were much more pronounced than on others.There was a cited fear by experts that at the onset of the pandemic, governmental restrictions could exacerbate the ongoing childhood obesity epidemic as school environments provide structure and routine regarding meal times, physical activity, and sleep habits. Hence, the loss of this structure might negatively impact lifestyle behavior and weight development in children, particularly in those with overweight and obesity.In addition to this, the psychological effect of the pandemic, including increased stress levels and emotional eating contribute to the amplified phenomenon of childhood obesity.An Indian study highlighted the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on increased weight gain in children.Results revealed significant differences in variables such as body weight, body mass index (BMI) before and after lockdown. Post-lockdown, the mean BMI increased among all children from 17.32 to 17.80 kg/m2(p < 0.001) (Figure 1).
