Abstract

The article presents a study of longitudinal trends in body mass index (BMI) among persons who are two to 19 years old in the U.S. before and during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2018 to 2020. Topics discussed include the factors that accelerated weight gain among children and adolescents, emergence of children six to 11 years old as the group with the largest increase in BMI change rate, and the need for pediatricians to assess the onset of obesity-related risk factors in all children.
