Abstract

Objective: to map the scientific evidence linking the risks of developing obesity in adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: a scoping review as recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The guiding question was as follows: What scientific evidence relates the risks of developing obesity in adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic? The searches were carried out in five databases and in another three sources from the gray literature. Thus, 12 studies comprised the final sample. Results: the risk factors related to the development of obesity among adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic are physical inactivity in daily living, fragility in psychological care, difficulty in nutritional education, and lack of body and complementary care measures. Conclusion: the risks related to adolescents' health during the COVID-19 pandemic are modifiable and Nursing plays an essential role for health promotion, disease prevention and encouraging the adoption of healthy habits.
