The target population comprised one hundred students aged between 10 and 16 years old. Our study obtained students\u2019 weight and height data from records maintained by school principals or physical education instructors before and after the quarantine period. The BMI z-score (zBMI) was calculated for each time point.

We also found that eating habits, sleeping time, sleeping patterns, screen time (time spent on social media per day), and physical activity had significant negative changes during quarantine, and a significant increase in zBMI was observed among students who experienced negative eating behaviors, altered sleeping patterns, and decreased physical activity during school closures.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>As prolonged school closures due to the COVID-19 lockdown aggravated students\u2019 health and lifestyle status, our findings can aid in proper planning to establish an appropriate framework for the diet, physical activity, and sleeping quality of students during extended school closures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-024-19509-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,24]],"date-time":"2024-07-24T08:05:31Z","timestamp":1721808331000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Long-term effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on weight status, eating habits, and lifestyle changes related to school-aged children in Bandar Abbas, Iran"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Behnaz","family":"Khamesan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Niloufar","family":"Khatibzade-Nasari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shahram","family":"Zare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Narges","family":"Rostami-Gooran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roya","family":"Baghestani-Koozehgar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,24]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"19509_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"930","DOI":"10.3390\/nu13030930","volume":"13","author":"O Androutsos","year":"2021","unstructured":"Androutsos O, Perperidi M, Georgiou C, Chouliaras G.
