description Abstract:  The preventive and compulsory social isolation measures (ASPO) due to the COVID-19 pandemic impacted on the lifestyle. In adolescence, the transitional stage of the life cycle, these changes can affect perceptions of their corporeality. Objective: To analyze the perception of changes in body weight and change initiatives during the ASPO in adolescents in the first and second year of middle schools, Córdoba, between June and July 2020. Descriptive, observational and cross-sectional study in a non-probabilistic sample of students. Age, gender, school management, nutritional status by body mass index (BMI = self-reported weight / height2), perception of weight gain or weight loss, and strategies to modify weight were investigated. Adolescents received access to a digital questionnaire on the Limesurvey platform by email or text message and responded after reading information and giving consent. A database was created in free software PSPP v1.2.0 and WHO AnthroPlus. Frequency distributions and inferential analysis were described with the Chi Square test, with a significance level of p = 0.05. 66 adolescents (mean = 13.5 years, standard deviation = 1.9 years) from 9 private school participated. 52% identified with male gender. 29.2% were overweight, which was more frequent in women than in men (40.9% vs. 16%, p = 0.04). 38.7% manifested that during the pandemic they gained weight. 63.9% said that the increase in body weight caused them some preoccupation, with being more frequent in women than in men (85.7% vs. 43.8%, p = 0.04), while it was not associated with nutritional status (p> 0.05). 46.5% were preoccupation about losing weight, without differences according to gender or nutritional status (p> 0.05). 83.4% of women and 20% of men took some initiative to modify body weight (p = 0.01) during the pandemic, such as physical activity and modification of food consumption. During APSO for COVID-19, there was a greater preoccupation about the increase in body weight in adolescents’ women than in men, being the women who took the greater initiative for change.

Resumen:  Las medidas de aislamiento social preventivo y obligatorio (ASPO) por la pandemia de COVID-19 impactaron sobre el estilo de vida. En la adolescencia, etapa transicional del ciclo vital, estos cambios pueden afectar las percepciones de su corporalidad. Objetivo: Analizar la percepción de modificaciones en el peso corporal e iniciativas de cambio durante el ASPO en adolescentes de primer y segundo año de escuelas secundarias, ciudad de Córdoba, entre junio y julio del año 2020. Estudio descriptivo, observacional y transversal en una muestra no probabilística de estudiantes. Se indagó edad, género, gestión de escuela, estado nutricional por índice de masa corporal (IMC= peso/talla2 autoreportados), percepción por aumento o descenso de peso, iniciativas para modificar el peso. Los y las adolescentes recibieron por correo electrónico o mensaje de texto el acceso a un cuestionario digital en plataforma Limesurvey y respondieron después de leer información y dar consentimiento. Se elaboró una base de datos en software libre PSPP v1.2.0 y WHO AnthroPlus. Se describieron distribuciones de frecuencias y análisis inferencial con prueba de Chi Cuadrado, con nivel de significación p=0,05. Participaron 66 adolescentes (media=13,5 años, desvío estándar = 1,9 años) de 9 centros educativos de gestión privada. El 52% se identificó con el género masculino. El 29,2% presentó exceso de peso, que fue más frecuente en mujeres que en varones (40,9% vs.16%, p=0,04). El 38,7% declaró que durante la pandemia aumentó de peso. El 63,9% dijo que el aumento del peso corporal le generó alguna preocupación, siendo más frecuente la preocupación en mujeres que en varones (85,7% vs. 43,8%, p=0,04), mientras que no se asoció al estado nutricional (p>0,05). Al 46,5% les preocupó disminuir de peso, sin diferencias según género ni estado nutricional (p>0,05). El 83,4% de las mujeres y el 20% de los varones tomó alguna iniciativa para la modificación del peso corporal (p=0,01) durante la pandemia, como la realización de actividad física y modificación del consumo alimentario. Durante el ASPO por COVID-19, en adolescentes, hubo una mayor preocupación por el aumento de peso corporal en mujeres que en varones, siendo ellas las que tomaron mayor iniciativa de cambio Universidad Nacional Córdoba.
