Brief Summary

The COVID-19 lockdown has represented an unedited model of increased metabolic risk in all age groups, due to negative changes in dietary habits, physical activity, lifestyle. These effects have been generally explored at a population level in distinct age groups. Potential intra-familial, specific effects in adults and children sharing the same socio-economic, cultural level and living habits have been scarcely explored. The investigators aimed to extend the previous observations concerning anthropometric data at the intra-familial level. In particular, The investigators prospectively characterized the variations in lifestyle habits and related outcomes over a 2 two months COVID-19 lockdown period, exploring both parents and their children. A cohort of 149 couple parent/children were prospectively enrolled. By a validated questionnaire The investigators explored changes of Body Mass Index (BMI) and individual lifestyle during a 2-month lockdown.
