Adherence to 24-h movement guidelines and its associations with dietary behavior and mental health among university students from five ASEAN countries

This is the first study to look at the prevalence, correlates, and relationships between 24-HMG adherence and dietary behaviour and mental health outcomes among university students in ASEAN. This pioneering study among ASEAN university students demonstrates that adherence to 24-h movement guidelines is associated with better dietary behaviours and mental health outcomes in a dose-response manner. Future university health policies should incorporate 24-h movement guidelines into existing health promotion strategies, particularly in resource-limited settings.
