“…The descriptive values of the anthropometric characteristics of the evaluated sample are similar to those reported in Chilean children of the same age [16,17,49]. However, BMI values are higher than those reported for children of the same age in Europe, Africa and Asia [50][51][52][53][54], a situation that is in line with what has been reported for more than a decade in children and adolescents, not only in Chile but also throughout Latin America [55][56][57][58], which is worrisome because there is ample evidence that this condition is maintained in adulthood [59], increasing the risk of contracting noncommunicable diseases [60,61] and premature death [62].…”

“…En la vida cotidiana, la población económicamente activa suele presentar altos niveles de comportamientos sedentarios y riesgos asociados a la salud que afectan su desempeño laboral (Gilson et al, 2019; López-Bueno, Smith, Andersen, López-Sánchez, y Casajús, 2020; Narisada y Suzuki, 2019). Una de las principales barreras reportadas para realizar actividad física es la "falta de tiempo" (Blanco et al, 2019; Joseph, Ainsworth, Keller, y Dodgson, 2015; Ramírez-Velez, Triana-Reina, Carrillo, y Ramos-Sepúlveda, 2016); sin embargo, ante la exigencia del confinamiento en casa, podría ser que esta situación cambie.
