Coronavirus doctor s diary: Study shows one-in-three children have rarely been leaving the house

A new study indicates that only a third of children in Bradford had sufficient exercise in the first lockdown, last spring - and that a similar proportion were rarely leaving the home. Dr John Wright, of Bradford Royal Infirmary, says this is contributing to a different kind of health crisis, one that began long before the pandemic, but risks becoming worse because of it.
The Born in Bradford research project, monitoring the health of 13,500 children born in the city between 2007 and 2010, provides a great opportunity to track changes in their behaviour.
‘THEY don’t see any hope - they want a way out’. That is the worrying message from an A&E consultant at Bradford Royal Infirmary (BRI) amid rising numbers of children and young people arriving at hospital who are experiencing a mental health crisis. Dave Greenhorn said the department used to see one or two children in that position a week - now it’s more like one or two every day. He said the realities of Covid - and what it is doing to young people - are becoming “painfully clear”. The impact of the pandemic on youngsters was highlighted in a recent BBC Radio 4 programme on the large-scale Born in Bradford study.
