Changes in pediatric obesity rates before and during the COVID pandemic in a Federally Qualified Health Center
This study is one of the first to investigate the details related to the changes with weight categories with a FQHC pandemic cohort. We suggest that these patterns warrant further study into the complex interactions of health inequities that are related to race and social determinants of health, aggravated by public health crises such as the COVID pandemic.
