Dietary practices of adolescents during COVID-19 and the perceived effect of the pandemic on nutrition-related behaviours

However, the observed high intake of SSBs coupled with reduced physical activity levels call for concerted efforts from various stakeholders to address these habits to avoid an even faster increasing rate of obesity.
