Children's and adolescents' lifestyle factors associated with physical activity in five Mediterranean countries: the DELICIOUS project
These results emphasize the importance of promoting healthy diet and lifestyle habits, including structured and high quality shared meals, sufficient sleep, and screen time moderation, as key strategies to support active behaviors in younger populations. Future interventions should focus on reinforcing these behaviors through parental guidance and community-based initiatives to foster lifelong healthy habits.
