Washington-SANA

American pediatricians have warned that prolonged interruptions to school, exercise and other activities due to the emerging coronavirus are leading to weight gain that can have long-term effects on children's health.

The American "Wall Street Journal" quoted the director of the "South Slope" Center for Pediatrics in Brooklyn, Dr. Hai Cao as saying, "We see many children of elementary school age gain 20 to 30 pounds per year," explaining that being in the classroom helps maintain weights. Students are under control, especially children who live in low-income neighborhoods.

In turn, Brittany Wilson, an assistant doctor at the "Iceland Kids Bedtrays" Center in New York, saw that the epidemic accelerates weight gain among children between the ages of 6 and 12 who are already overweight, pointing out that children who do not go to school become depressed because they miss their friends. Not many of them are able to do well which leads to the trend towards food and thus weight gain.

According to research conducted by Michael Yiddia of "Rutgers University and Poonam Uri Vacaspati" in Arizona, children are most active during the school year when they commute to and from school and between classrooms and participate in activities such as sports and the gym where all these different elements associated with being in school are considered healthy. For children.

Dr. Uhri Vaspati indicated that prolonged cessation of personal learning may lead to a significant increase in cumulative weight, which will negatively affect their health and education.
