Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the corona crisis on lifestyle changes among DONALD (Dortmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designed) Study participants. The results will show changes in dietary intake, physical activity and chronobiology among children and adolescence in Germany during the corona crisis in comparison to the behavior prior the lockdown. This project offers a unique opportunity to assess changes of well-known risk factors for chronic disease development helping to formulate targeted public health actions for the current and future pandemic crises.
