Resumo
The study aimed to examine the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on adolescents' mental and physical health. Using the Polish version of the Health Behavior in School‐aged Children (HBSC) questionnaire, data were collected from adolescent participants (10–15 years old). The analysis was based on the frequency distribution of choices for individual statements. It was found that compared to the time before the pandemic, there was more frequent school‐related stress, faster fatigue, and more frequent pain in various parts of the body. Adolescents also declared greater food consumption now than before the pandemic and increased consumption of sweets. The study provided important information indicating potential courses of action to improve the health and well‐being of adolescents after the pandemic.
