Abstract

Background: Increased weight gain in children during the COVID-19 pandemic has been reported. Changes in weight in children with asthma during this period have not been well described. Methods: Retrospective review of children with asthma, 6-18 years of age, seen in 2019 and 2020. Mean monthly rates of change in body mass index (BMI) were compared between years. Demographic and asthma-related factors were examined. Results: Two hundred sixty-seven patients were enrolled. BMI increased by 0.128 ± 0.283 kg/m²/month during the pandemic year as compared with 0.084 ± 0.160 kg/m²/month during the previous year (P = 0.03). Patients with baseline overweight or obesity trended toward higher rates of BMI increase than those starting with normal weight, with the greatest BMI increase occurring in the severely obese. Conclusions: In this single-site study of children with asthma, there was a greater monthly rate of BMI gain during the early pandemic as compared with that observed in the previous year.

COVID-19大流行期间哮喘儿童和青少年体重指数的变化

背景:据报道，在COVID-19大流行期间，儿童体重增加。哮喘患儿在此期间的体重变化尚未得到很好的描述。方法:对2019年和2020年6-18岁哮喘患儿进行回顾性分析。体重指数(BMI)的月平均变化率在不同年份之间进行比较。研究了人口统计学和哮喘相关因素。结果:共纳入267例患者。在大流行年，BMI增加了0.128±0.283 kg/m2/月，而前一年为0.084±0.160 kg/m2/月(P = 0.03)。基线超重或肥胖的患者比体重正常的患者有更高的BMI增长率，严重肥胖的患者BMI增幅最大。结论:在这项针对哮喘儿童的单点研究中，与前一年观察到的相比，在大流行早期，BMI每月增加的速度更大。

期刊介绍： Pediatric Allergy, Immunology, and Pulmonology is a peer-reviewed journal designed to promote understanding and advance the treatment of respiratory, allergic, and immunologic diseases in children. The Journal delivers original translational, clinical, and epidemiologic research on the most common chronic illnesses of children—asthma and allergies—as well as many less common and rare diseases. It emphasizes the developmental implications of the morphological, physiological, pharmacological, and sociological components of these problems, as well as the impact of disease processes on families. Pediatric Allergy, Immunology, and Pulmonology coverage includes: -Functional and genetic immune deficiencies- Interstitial lung diseases- Both common and rare respiratory, allergic, and immunologic diseases- Patient care- Patient education research- Public health policy- International health studies
