Distribution of anthropometrics and cardiometabolic markers before (2016–2019) and during (2020–2021) the COVID-19 pandemic (n = 1 004): a) weight (kg), b) BMI (kg/m²), c) total body fat (%), d) trunk fat (%), e) systolic blood pressure (mmHg), f) diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) in females and males. The boxes represent the 25^th – 75.^th percentile with the median value shown as horizontal lines, with outside values shown as dots. Differences in median values before vs. during the pandemic were tested with the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed–rank test. All p-values < 0.001
