dc.description.abstractDuring COVID-19, several studies documented a decrease in physical activity time, an increase in screen use and a worsening of sleep duration. The aim of this study was to compare the proportion of children with unhealthy amounts of time dedicated to these three habits across three different moments: before the pandemic (T1), 2 weeks after its outbreak (T2), and three and a half years later (T3), when the situation was fully restored. A total of 1248 caregivers of children and adolescents aged 3 to 18 years old (46.9% female) from Italy, Spain and Portugal reported the amount of time devoted to physical activity, screen use and sleep at each moment. At T2, an increase in the percentage of children and adolescents with unhealthy time dedicated to physical activity and screen use was recorded. Proportions decreased at T3 but remained higher than at T1. At T3, the proportion of participants with inadequate sleep hours significantly decreased in children aged 3 to 5 compared to T1–T2, showed no differences in children aged 6 to 12, and increased in adolescents compared to T2, with no significant differences compared to T1. Conclusion: Results highlight that, although unhealthy patterns in physical activity and screen use have decreased compared to the confinement in March 2020, three and a half years later they remain higher than before the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings underscore the need for continued efforts to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent potential adverse consequences. (Table presented.)en
