Background: The present study assess lifestyle and eating habits of Iranian adolescent girls. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 3207 adolescent girls, aged 12–18 years. Lifestyle and eating habits of adolescents were assessed. Results: The prevalence of overweight was 11.3% and that of obesity was 10.2%. The frequencies of daily intake of fruits, dairy products and vegetables were 60.9%, 45.6 % and 33.5%, respectively. Skipping breakfast (15.8%) was more frequent than skipping dinner or lunch. Moreover, 10.6% of subjects had fast food daily and 16.2% had fast food weekly. Overall, 55.2% of participants watched television for at least 2 hours a day; and 27.1% reported to have a sleeping time of less than 8 hours a day. Low physical activity, i.e. less than 30 minutes per day, was less frequent among participants with high socio-economic status (SES) compared to those with medium or low SES (57.6% vs. 61.3% and 64.1%, respectively, P value = 0.010). Conclusion: Improvement of lifestyle habits should be considered in public health plans for health promotion of adolescent girls and the next generation. Primordial prevention of chronic diseases by improving healthy lifestyle of adolescent girls should be a national public health priority

We are well aware of the many problems that our current generations are facing. From all these new enhancements in the real world, it has been quite hard for them to keep up with everything evolving around them. Keeping all this in mind, they work day in and out to make sure that their knowledge of their surroundings up to date. However, we believe that they fail to take care of themselves in the process correctly. No matter how much a particular individual may withstand in terms of workload, stress, or other mental & emotional barriers, our physical body will always be the critical aspect to overcoming them. Most people believe that working out and maintaining physical fitness are the significant aspects to sustain an excellent physical form, but they simply overlook the most crucial element which is their eating habits [1]. Although our body may be physically fit, the nourishment of our body depends on the eating styles that we follow on a day to day basis. Food is what nourishes our body with most of the proteins & minerals that we require; without it, we wouldn't be able to accomplish much. On conducting worldwide research on people's lifestyles, we were able to conclude that over the past 33 years, the obesity rate among human beings has increased by a mere 27.5%. What seems to be the most thoughtful yet intriguing fact is that although many people are overweight as well as obese, they still believe that their eating habits are healthy [2]. Most people are living in the dilemma of the fact that they maintain a healthy lifestyle. We aim to study the views on a healthy lifestyle as per the norms of our current generation. We want to analyze their daily eating habits as well as their thoughts on their lifestyle. So the question that remains is “What exactly is a Healthy Eating Lifestyle?”[3]To know the accuracy of our data set we use the machine learning algorithms like Support Vector Machine (svm), Naïve-Bayes Classifier which are used for both classification and regression [4]

BACKGROUND: The health-related quality of life construct (QoL) implies a relationship with eating habits (EA) and physical activity (PA). Sociodemographic and anthropometric variables (gender, age and Body Mass Index - BMI) are highlighted in the definition of healthy lifestyle habits promotion strategies. OBJECTIVE: We aim to characterize and relate PA, EA and QoL in children/youth and explore gender, age and BMI influences. METHODS: It is a non-experimental study, with 337 children/youth, ages between 8 and 17 years (12.61±2.96), mostly from the rural inland of Portugal. In data collection we used a sociodemographic and anthropometric questionnaire, a weekly register table of EA and Kid-Kindl (QoL). Statistical analysis (p <  0.05) were performed in SPSS-IBM 25. RESULTS: Lower BMI was associated with better EA (p <  0.001), PA (p <  0.05) and self-esteem (p <  0.01) and worse scores on family subscale of QoL. Female showed higher fruit intake (p <  0.05). The older has shown better results. PA is positively correlated with QoL (p <  0.01) and EA (p <  0.05). CONCLUSIONS: It is important to explore other relevant social and family dimensions, to promote intervention programs with parents, school and community, as well as healthy practices policies. The intervention in these age groups is critical for a longer-term impact in improving healthy life habits.

abstract It is important to know about overweight and obesity situation of Brazilian children and adolescents. The present study aims to update scientific production, through a systematic review, on the prevalence and factors associated with overweight and obesity in Brazilian children and adolescents. Nine databases were verified, and 1,316 references were examined from 2018 to 2019. The electronic search was conducted by three independent researchers. All review steps followed a strategy based on PRISMA. 40 studies were included in this systematic review. Most studies use the World Health Organization classification criteria. The prevalence of overweight in Brazilian children and adolescents varies from 8.8% to 22.2% (boys: 6.2% to 21%; girls: 6.9% to 27.6%). The prevalence of obesity varied from 3.8% to 24% (boys: 2.4% to 28.9%; girls: 1.6% to 19.4%). It was observed that the socioeconomic factors (sex, skin color, economic level, region, mother's educational level, living in a rented house and without access to the internet), hereditary/genetic (family history of dyslipidemia and overweight and rs9939609 genotype) and behavioral (physical activity, screen time, eating habits, perceived body weight, health vulnerability, presence of a result close to home, alcoholic beverages, cigarette consumption) were associated with the outcome. It is concluded that the prevalence of overweight and obesity among Brazilian children and adolescents are worrisome and most of the factors associated with the outcomes are subject to change from the adoption of a healthy lifestyle.

Experiences with food preferences begin in infancy and continue to develop on children transition to solid food. Children’s food preferences are influenced by availability and familiarity with foods as well as parental modeling and health related picture books. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether picture-books regarding healthy lifestyle can influence children’s eating preferences. A questionnaire related to the use of picture-books at home and lifestyle habits was distributed to all parents. Picture-books were provided to all parents. At the same time children were allocated in two groups: the intervention group, which took part in further activities (cooking), and to a comparison group. Interviews were addressed to the parents after the program. The ethical concern included confidentiality assurance and the choice to withdraw. Findings revealed that the daily reading of books about food was increased in both groups. Most of the families of the intervention group reduced fast food and sweet consumption and increased outdoor activities. Implications on the influence of books and additional activities on promoting child attitudes on healthy food will be discussed. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0740/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Major Health Problem

Anemia is a major health problem for people in the world, especially in developing countries, about 50-80% of anemia is caused by iron deficiency. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence the occurrence of young women. This research is an analytical survey with a cross sectional research design, the study was conducted in May - June 2020 in the village of Sidomakmur, Gumawang Community Health Center, East OKU Regency, the population in this study were all young women recorded by village midwives in Sidomakmur Village, totaling 212 people. and the sample is some of the young women who take part in the Posyandu Youth in Sidomakmur Village, amounting to 98 people, through Proportional Random Sampling, univariate (proportion), bivariate (chi square test) and multivariate (logistic regression) analysis. The results of the analysis showed that adolescent education (p value: 0,000), parents' income (p value: 0.012) and adolescent nutritional status (p vaue: 0,000) had a significant relationship with the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls, while adolescent age (p value: 0.224). ) does not have a significant relationship with the incidence of anemia in adolescent girls, while the age of adolescents. Based on the final model of multivariate analysis, the variable that had the greatest influence on anemia status was the variable nutritional status. It is necessary to provide counseling to young women and improve the way of delivering information when young women conduct examinations on how to prevent anemia, both in the form of a good healthy lifestyle and how to maintain health for the growth and development of young women themselves.

Abstract: Introduction and aim: There are two notable eating behaviors that are not far from having their own category as a mental disorder: the purging disorder, that is already among the DSM-5 non-specific eating disorders, and orthorexia nervosa, when a person is fixating too much on healthy foods. Our purpose is to describe how these can be observed in recreational juice cleanse camps, which are very popular today as an alternative health trend. Method: The first author recorded her data during multisited ethnographic observations in two Hungarian juice cleanse camps. Based on the diary logs, notes and interviews collected, we will present the motives of eating anomalies that the participants had shown. Results: The main motive of the camp is “detoxification”. The lack of solid food, drastically low calorie intake and lots of physical activity will bring an inevitable change in the body, that is interpreted as toxins leaving the body. Participants have also included deliberate use of laxatives in their everyday routines, with which they associate positive connotations and are linked to the spiritual processes of “letting it go” and “renewal” in the spirit of a holistic approach. The use of symbols in the physiological processes was highly noticeable. Rapid weight loss due to diuresis, the desire for “clean” meals, and “self-rewarding” borrowed from the esoteric-self-help culture are also common motives. Due to the refeeding complications, so far two deaths have been reported by camp organizers. Conclusions: Both purging disorder and orthorexia nervosa can be well-identified in our observations. This shows that also in the non-clinical environment, there is an institutionalization of eating habits that are dangerous to the health. This “detox” is not only physiologically harmful, but it is not proved to provide long-term help in mental health either. As a solution, we advocate developing an appropriate health communication plan for misconceptions about healthy lifestyle and eating, and also a promotion of psychotherapeutic opportunities.

The present study explored the effects of a second-generation mindfulness-based intervention known as flow meditation (Meditación-Fluir) in the improvement of healthy life behaviors. A sample of university students (n = 51) in Spain were randomly assigned to a seven-week mindfulness treatment or a waiting list control group. Results showed that compared to the control group, individuals in the mindfulness group demonstrated significant improvements across all outcome measures including healthy eating habits (balanced diet, intake rate, snacking between meals, decrease in consumption by negative emotional states, increased consumption by negative emotional states, amount of consumption, meal times, consumption of low-fat products), tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis consumption, and resting habits. There were differences between males and females in some of these variables and a better effect of the treatment was evident in the females of the experimental group when compared to the males. The flow meditation program shows promise for fostering a healthy lifestyle, thus decreasing behaviors related to maladaptive eating, tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis consumption as well as negative rest habits in university students. This mindfulness program could significantly contribute to the treatment of eating disorders and addictions, wherein negative emotional states and impulsivity are central features of the condition.

Abstract Background Lifestyle modification is recommended for subjects with trace proteinuria during health checkups. However, whether overall healthy lifestyle reduces the incidence of trace/positive proteinuria or rapid decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is not clarified. Methods A total of 451 534 people (277 494 men and 174 040 women) ages 20–79 years with negative proteinuria were included. The number of three healthy lifestyle factors (LFs) was assessed: noncurrent smoking, healthy eating habits (late dinner, snacking and skipping breakfast &lt;3 times/week) and body mass index &lt;25. The incidence of trace (±) and positive (≥1+) proteinuria by the dipstick method and eGFR decline ≥20% over 2 years were compared with the number of healthy LFs. Results The incidence of trace/positive proteinuria and rapid eGFR decline decreased with an increasing number of healthy LFs as follows: odds ratios (ORs) for trace proteinuria, 0.91 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.86–0.96], 0.82 (0.78–0.87) and 0.72 (0.68–0.77); ORs for positive proteinuria, 0.76 (95% CI 0.67–0.86), 0.56 (0.50–0.63) and 0.46 (0.40–0.53); and ORs for an eGFR decline ≥20%, 0.93 (95% CI 0.82–1.05), 0.90 (0.79–1.02) and 0.81 (0.70–0.93) for those with one, two and three healthy LFs compared with those with none of the three healthy LFs, respectively. Overall, subjects with a healthy lifestyle showed 28, 54 and 19% reduced risk of developing trace proteinuria, positive proteinuria and eGFR decline ≥20%, respectively, compared with those with an unhealthy lifestyle after 2 years. This association was similarly observed even among subjects without hypertension (HT) or diabetes mellitus (DM). Conclusions Subjects with an overall healthy lifestyle showed a lower incidence of trace/positive proteinuria by dipstick test and rapid eGFR decline over 2 years in a nationwide general population. Thus lifestyle modification should be recommended for subjects with trace proteinuria during health checkups, even for subjects without HT or DM.
