To the best of our knowledge this is the first study to assess body composition in a numerically large pediatric MIS-C population from acute infection to six months after triggering event. FMI and anthropometric parameters linked to fat deposits were significantly higher six months after acute event. Thus, limiting physical activity and having sedentary lifestyle may lead to an accumulation of adipose tissue even in healthy children who experienced MIS-C and long hospitalization.
