Childhood obesity is a growing public health concern in the United States, with an estimated 20% of American children being obese.

However, many older citizens may live alone or may not have access to technology, and therefore may be limited in their ability to maintain important relationships and social interactions throughout shelter-in-place orders and social distancing. Therefore, it is important to understand the cost …
