Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in December 2019, was declared a health emergency by the WHO in 2020 and has spread worldwide, with 767,562,324 cases and 6,947,976 deaths recorded as of July 1, 2023, with the highest mortality rate occurring in 2020 (Rodríguez et al., 2021). In Mexico, as of that same date, 7,636,750 cases had been reported (Ministry of Health, 2023). To mitigate the spread, various countries imposed quarantines and lockdowns, which included the closure of activities and the promotion of working from home, with the consequent closure of schools, businesses, and non-essential services. This review aims to identify the factors that modified lifestyle and, therefore, influenced overweight and obesity during the COVID-19 lockdown. The factors considered include sociodemographic variables, sedentary behavior, physical inactivity, changes in eating habits, food insecurity, alcohol consumption, sleep habits, and psychological aspects, all of which may have contributed to weight gain in the population during the pandemic.
