Pandemic diets under the microscope: Kids' food diversity studied
NCT ID NCT04447209
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns changed the variety of foods young children (6 months to 6 years) from low-income urban families ate. Researchers tracked what kids ate before and after food aid, and measured nutrition markers like iron levels. The goal was to understand gaps in diet and guide targeted help.
