In the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of people have had to stay in isolation for months. Children did not go to school for a long time, they spent much more time at home and were sedentary. They also spent much more time on screen-related activities (personal computer (PC), mobile phone, music player, tablet, game console, and television (TV). These situations have had various effects on children and adolescents. Undoubtedly, long-term restrictions and lifestyle changes have had effects on individuals with childhood obesity, pubertal progression, and type 1 diabetes (T1D). In this review, articles investigating the effect of COVID-19 quarantine/pandemic on adolescence, childhood obesity and diabetes were compiled and the effect of the COVID pandemic on these frequently encountered situations in pediatric endocrine practice was tried to be revealed.

Öz

COVID-19 pandemisi, sağlık hizmetleri üzerinde benzeri görülmemiş bir baskı yarattı ve karantina, milyonlarca insanı aylarca evlerinde izole kalmaya zorladı. Pandemi döneminde çocuklar okula gidemediler, evde çok daha fazla zaman geçirdiler ve hareketsiz kaldılar. Ayrıca ekran ilişkili etkinliklerde (bilgisayar, cep telefonu, müzik çalar, tablet, oyun konsolu ve televizyon) çok daha fazla zaman harcadılar. Kuşkusuz bu durumların çocuklar ve ergenler üzerinde çeşitli etkileri olmuştur. Uzun süreli kısıtlamalar ve büyük yaşam tarzı değişiklikleri, hassas bireyleri ve tip 1 diyabet (T1D) gibi kronik hastalıkları olanları etkileyebilir. Bu derlemede, COVID-19 karantinası/pandemisinin ergenlik, çocukluk çağı obezitesi ve diyabeti üzerine etkisini araştıran makaleler derlenerek pediyatrik endokrin pratiğinde sık karşılaşılan bu durumlara COVID pandemisinin etkisi ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmıştır.
