Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted childhood obesity and metabolic health, with studies showing an increase in obesity rates linked to lifestyle changes during lockdowns.
- A study involving 101 obese children revealed significant increases in weight, height, and severity of obesity post-lockdown, but no notable changes in metabolic parameters, including blood glucose and insulin levels.
- The findings suggest that while obesity severity increased, metformin therapy did not lead to improvements in obesity or metabolic health in these children.
