  En la adolescencia temprana se dan numerosas transformaciones y la adquisición de un estilo de vida saludable es trascendental para disminuir la aparición de enfermedades no transmisibles. Objetivo: analizar la relación entre la práctica de la actividad física (AF), la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea (DM) y el nivel socioeconómico (NSE). Material y métodos: en esta investigación de diseño transversal participaron 112 escolares del tercer ciclo de Educación Primaria de la capital de Granada, recogiendo los datos a través de tres cuestionarios: PAQ-C, para medir la práctica de AF; KIDMED para medir la adherencia a la DM y FAS III para determinar el nivel socioeconómico familiar. Resultados: el 80% de la muestra necesita mejorar su alimentación, ya que solo dos de cada diez niños presenta una alta adherencia a la DM, obteniendo puntuaciones ligeramente más altas el grupo masculino. Los niños practicaron más AF que las niñas. Por otro lado, se reveló que la condición socioeconómica es un factor influyente en la práctica de la AF, siendo el NSE bajo el grupo más desfavorecido en este parámetro. Por último correlacionó positivamente la práctica de AF con la adherencia a la DM y el nivel socioeconómico. Conclusión: se denota la importancia de fomentar y mejorar tanto la práctica de AF como la adherencia al patrón dietético Mediterráneo, desde edades tempranas. Resulta de vital importancia la creación de programas de intervención que fomenten la adquisición de hábitos saludables y busquen el equilibrio entre las desigualdades socioeconómicas del alumnado. Abstract. A number of transitions occur during early adolescence that make the acquisition of healthy lifestyles transcendental for decreasing the onset of noncommunicable diseases. Objective: to analyse the relationship between the physical activity engagement (PA), Mediterranean diet adherence (MD) and socioeconomic status (SES).Material and methods: a cross-sectional research study was conducted involving 112 schoolchildren enrolled on the third year of primary education in Granada. Data was collected data through three questionnaires. The PAQ-C estimated physical activity engagement, the KIDMED estimated Mediterranean diet adherence and the FAS III determined family socioeconomic status. Results: 80% of participants need to improve their diet as only one fifth of participating children presented high Mediterranean diet adherence. Slightly higher scores were obtained in the male group, with males also engaging in more physical activity than females. Further, it was revealed that socioeconomic status is an influential factor in relation to physical activity engagement, with those with the lowest socioeconomic status having the least favourable indices for this parameter. Finally, physical activity engagement was positively correlated with Mediterranean diet adherence and socioeconomic status. Conclusion: present research highlights the importance of promoting and improving both PA engagement and adherence to Mediterranean dietary patterns from an early age. The development of intervention programmes that promote the acquisition of healthy habits and seek a balance between the socio-economic inequalities among students.

Regular physical activity and good adherence to the Mediterranean diet are important for improving physical and mental health. Confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a lack of exercise and poor nutrition. Preadolescent mental health, specifically regarding self-esteem, may have been affected. This is particularly relevant between the ages of 10 and 14. The influence of total confinement due to COVID-19 on physical activity and Mediterranean diet adherence, and its relationship with self-esteem was studied in third-year primary school students and first-year secondary school students in the provinces of Granada and Malaga, Spain. Validated questionnaires were administered to evaluate physical activity (PAQ-C), Mediterranean diet adherence (KIDMED) and self-esteem (Rosenberg Scale). In the same way, the FAS III test was used to evaluate socioeconomic status and an ad-hoc questionnaire was developed to collect sociodemographic data and evaluate screen time. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 25.0 statistical software. During the period of total confinement, statistically significant differences were found between examined variables, according to sex, school year, school type, socioeconomic status and whether or not the participant had contracted COVID-19. These data were compared with those collected during a previous time period. Those with a low socioeconomic status and girls were most affected.

(1) Background: Family is considered as one of the most important elements for the transmission of healthy habits that improve the lives of students. For this reason, the present study aims to describe the degree of family functionality, emotional intelligence, Mediterranean diet adherence, and extra-curricular physical activity engagement. A further aim is to perform a correlational analysis between these variables. (2) Methods: To this end, an ad hoc questionnaire was used, alongside the APGAR, KIDMED, and Trait Meta Mood Scale (TMMS-24). (3) Results: Finally, the data suggest that a high percentage of students need to improve their diet. Further, students reporting severe family dysfunction showed worse outcomes. Thus, levels of emotional clarity were lower when family functionality was poor. Poor diet quality was also associated with lower emotional attention, with Mediterranean diet adherence being positively related to emotional clarity and repair, as well as normal family functionality. (4) Conclusions: Boys showed higher levels of adherence to the Mediterranean diet adherence, while girls reported higher family functionality. Thus, compliance with the minimum recommendations for physical activity engagement was associated with adequate adherence to the Mediterranean diet. The importance of diet for obtaining an optimal physical condition, adequate emotional state, and family functionality is highlighted.

We aimed to assess the influence of the Mediterranean Diet adherence and physical activity (PA) on body composition, with a particular focus on bone health, in young patients with celiac disease (CD). The CD group (n = 59) included children with CD with a long (>18 months, n = 41) or recent (<18 months, n = 18) adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD). The non-celiac group (n = 40) included non-celiac children. After adjusting for potential confounders, the CD group showed lower body weight (p = 0.034), lean mass (p = 0.003), bone mineral content (p = 0.006), and bone Z-score (p = 0.036) than non-celiac children, even when the model was further adjusted for adherence to a GFD for at least 18 months. Among CD children, spending greater time in vigorous physical activity was associated with higher lean mass (p = 0.020) and bone mineral density with evidence of statistical significance (p = 0.078) regardless of the time they followed a GFD. In addition, a greater Mediterranean Diet adherence was associated with a higher bone Z-score (p = 0.020). Moreover, lean mass was strongly associated with bone mineral density and independently explained 12% of its variability (p < 0.001). These findings suggest the importance of correctly monitoring lifestyle in children with CD regarding dietary habits and PA levels to improve lean mass and, consequently, bone quality in this population.

La población migrante constituye una parte importante de nuestra realidad social y escolar. Para favorecer su integración en el sistema educativo, es preciso conocer sus hábitos de vida. El objetivo del estudio fue analizarlos y compararlos con los de sus pares españoles. Se seleccionó una muestra representativa de alumnos de sexto de Educación Primaria de Logroño (La Rioja), obteniendo un total de 329 escolares de los 31 centros de la ciudad. Se les administraron cuestionarios de actividad física (PAQ-C), adherencia a la dieta mediterránea (KIDMED), características demográficas y hábitos de vida. También se valoró su composición corporal y condición física.  El alumnado migrante tenía un nivel socioeconómico y cultural más bajo, además de una menor asistencia al comedor y menor práctica de actividad deportiva organizada. A pesar de esto último, no hubo diferencias en los niveles de actividad física o en la capacidad aeróbica. Por otro lado, reportaron una menor adherencia a la dieta mediterránea, sin embargo, no hubo diferencias en la composición corporal. Por último, pasaban más horas frente a la pantalla y dormían menos por la noche, variables que podrían estar relacionadas. Las intervenciones sanitarias y educativas deberían valorar estos resultados para favorecer la plena inclusión de la población migrante.AbstractThe immigrant population constitutes an important part of society in both social and educational contexts. In order to assist in the integration of migrants into the education system, it is crucial to understand their lifestyle habits. The objective of the present study was to analyze and compare lifestyle habits between migrants and their Spanish counterparts. A representative sample of 329 students attending the sixth year of primary school was recruited from 31 educational centers in the city of Logroño (La Rioja). Participants self-reported their physical activity (PAQ-C), adherence to the Mediterranean diet (KIDMED), demographic characteristics and lifestyle habits. Data for body composition and physical condition were also collected. Students from an immigrant background reported a lower socioeconomic status and cultural status, besides in reduced attendance to school dining rooms and reduce their engagement in physical activity. With regards to physical activity, there were no differences between Spanish national or migrant students in levels of physical activity or in aerobic capacity. On the other hand, migrant students did report a lower adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Despite this finding, no differences in body composition were reported. Finally, immigrant students reported a higher screen time and slept fewer hours per night, outcomes which could be intrinsically related. The findings of the present research have implications for the development of health and/or educative interventions for the complete integration of the immigrant population.

El propósito de este trabajo es conocer los niveles de actividad física, el grado de adherencia a la dieta mediterránea y el autoconcepto físico en una muestra de estudiantes de 3º y 4º de la ESO de Benidorm (España). Además, se pretende conocer si existen diferencias en función del sexo en las distintas variables estudiadas. El número de participantes es de 189, siendo el 47.62% chicos (n = 90) y el 52.38% chicas (n = 99), con edades comprendidas entre los 14 y 17 años (M = 14.76, DT = 0.75). Se han utilizado diversos instrumentos como el cuestionario sobre la práctica de actividad física (elaboración propia), el cuestionario KIDMED y el cuestionario de autoconcepto físico (CAF). Los resultados de la investigación revelan la necesidad urgente de actuación para la mejora de la adherencia a la actividad física y un adecuado patrón alimentario (dieta mediterránea), observándose diferencias en función del sexo en los niveles de actividad física pero no en el grado de adherencia a la dieta mediterránea. Asimismo, se observan peores puntuaciones en todas las escalas del autoconcepto físico en las chicas, a excepción del atractivo físico. Resulta necesaria una actuación para fomentar hábitos saludables en adolescentes que haga partícipe a las familias, los centros educativos y las administraciones públicas. Abstract. The purpose of this project is to assess physical activity levels, degree of adherence to the Mediterranean diet, and physical self-concept in a sample of students from 3rd and 4th grade of ESO (Compulsory Secondary Education) in Benidorm (Spain). Furthermore, it aims to see if there are differences by gender in the studied variables. The sample is composed by 189 students, 47.62% of which are boys (n = 90), and 52.38% are girls (n = 99). Their ages vary from 14 to 17 years old (M = 14.76, DT = 0.75). Different tools, such as an ad-hoc questionnaire about their physical activity, the KIDMED questionnaire, and the physical self-concept questionnaire (CAF), were employed. The results of this research reveal an urgent necessity for action to improve adherence to physical activity and to an adequate diet (Mediterranean diet); the statistical differences between boys and girls are significant in physical activity levels, but not in the degree of adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Likewise, worse results are observed in all measurements of physical self-concept in girls, with the exception of physical attractiveness. In order to promote healthy habits in adolescents, it appears necessary to carry out an action plan that involves families, schools, and public administrations.
