SEROCoV-KIDS

Este estudio muestra que los niños y adolescentes con necesidades sanitarias especiales sufrieron más que los demás en cuanto a su bienestar físico, psicológico y social tras las restricciones asociadas a la pandemia de COVID-19, sin que se produjera una mejora evidente con el paso del tiempo.

Socio-familial environments have a strong influence on the health behaviours of adolescents. Young people from disadvantaged families smoke more, drink more soft drinks, are less physically active and are less likely to be vaccinated. These early disparities call for health strategies that integrate social and family factors.

This study assesses screen time among young people, the factors associated with it and its consequences for health. Almost all the children used screens, with a sharp increase in screen time with age. The negative effects observed on quality of life call for close monitoring and appropriate interventions.

This study looks at screen time, physical activity, sleep and their changes during the COVID-19 pandemic in children aged 3 to 17. The majority of children followed the recommendations for health behaviour and did not experience any lasting changes linked to the pandemic. However, adolescent girls are at greater risk of adverse behaviours.

Estos resultados indican a qué grupos de niños y adolescentes deberían dirigirse las políticas e intervenciones de salud pública destinadas a remediar las desigualdades sociales.
