Health inequity in metabolic disorders and lifestyle behaviors in under-resourced adolescents: a cross-sectional study from E-DUCASS Program
Adolescents from under-resourced families demonstrate poor adherence to healthy behaviors and high rates of obesity and MetS, exceeding levels reported in general European and Spanish cohorts. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions, such as the E-DUCASS program, to address these disparities.
