Summary: The research on children's healthy eating habits in this paper shows that there is more specific and abundant research on the influence of unhealthy foods (UHFs) on children's eating habits, while the results of healthy foods (HFs) research are scarce, especially in terms of information factors. After proposing the Persuasive Strategies Presenting Healthy Foods to Children (PSPHF) typology, we need to continue to fill in related research gaps in order to better promote healthy eating habits in children.

Summary: This study investigated the breakfast eating habits and lifestyle behaviors of Saudi school children in public versus private schools. While there was no significant difference in breakfast intake prevalence between the two school types, boys in private schools had significantly higher daily breakfast intake than girls. Other factors influencing breakfast consumption and school type were also explored in the study.

Summary: This study examines the patterns of consumers' Sustainable and Healthy Dietary Behaviors (SHDBs) and identifies the independent predictors of each pattern. Five different patterns were identified, including amalgamation of all SHDBs, healthy food choices but unsustainable cooking, sustainable disposal, avoiding plastic products, and sustainable behaviors regarding expiry date. Psychological factors and meal preparation habits were found to influence these behavior patterns.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a new questionnaire to assess parental perceived barriers to healthy feeding in young children and evaluate its psychometric properties. The results confirmed the theoretical structure of the scale, with five identified scales: Child-Related Barriers, Parent-Related Barriers-Vegetables and Fruit, Parent-Related Barriers-Added Sugars, Social Context-Related Barriers, and Cost-Related Barriers. The study also found significant correlations between child- and parent-related barriers and factors such as feeding practices, children's eating self-regulation, and food parenting self-efficacy. Overall, the questionnaire demonstrated good validity and reliability in assessing parental perceived barriers to healthy feeding in young children.

Summary: This study aimed to assess dietary intake and lifestyle habits during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, as well as adherence to the Mediterranean diet among the Lebanese population. The study found that both dietary intake and adherence to the Mediterranean diet were suboptimal during the lockdown. Therefore, it is critical for the Lebanese government to implement public health programs to promote awareness about the importance of adhering to a healthy lifestyle and making appropriate dietary and lifestyle choices.

Summary: This study focuses on the unsupervised discovery of individuals' eating habits from egocentric photo-streams, utilizing Dynamic-Time-Warping for similarity evaluation and building a behavioral pattern model. With a novel classification pipeline, it achieves higher accuracy in food-related image classification and identifies anomalous nutritional activities in daily life.

Summary: Experimental evidence suggests that alcohol is a risk factor for skin cancer, although epidemiological studies have produced inconsistent results. This study, conducted on participants from 10 European countries over a 15-year follow-up, found a positive association between alcohol intake and the risk of squamous-cell carcinoma, basal-cell carcinoma, and melanoma. The associations were stronger in men and more modest in women.

Summary: This study examined the incidence of cancer among Nordic male and female police officers, using census data and national cancer registries from Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The results showed that male police officers had a slightly higher risk of cancer, particularly for colon, breast, and prostate cancers, which may be related to night shift work.

Summary: This study investigated the associations between dietary protein intake and prostate cancer risk and mortality. The results suggest that dairy protein and yogurt protein are positively associated with prostate cancer risk, while egg protein may be positively associated with prostate cancer mortality. However, considering the weak associations and many tests conducted, these results should be interpreted with caution.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the associations between the intake of total polyphenols, polyphenol classes, and subclasses and body weight change over 5 years. The results showed an inverse association between total flavonoid intake and body weight change, and positive associations between total polyphenol and hydroxycinnamic acid intake and body weight gain. However, the positive association between hydroxycinnamic acid intake and body weight gain was only found in coffee consumers, not in coffee nonconsumers.

Summary: This study investigated the association between nevus count and pigmentary characteristics with melanoma-specific mortality. The study found that in patients with thicker melanoma, darker pigmentary characteristics were associated with a higher risk of melanoma death. However, in women with thicker melanoma, lighter pigmentary characteristics and asymmetrical nevi may be associated with lower melanoma-specific mortality.

Summary: This population-based study analyzes the long-term trends in cancer survival in the Barretos region, Brazil. The study finds significant differences in survival rates among different cancer types, with pancreatic and oesophageal cancers having the lowest 5-year survival rates, and prostate, thyroid, and female breast cancers having the highest rates. The study also highlights the impact of sex and clinical stage on survival rates. Overall, there has been an improvement in cancer survival in the Barretos region over the past two decades.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the association between body fatness and weight changes and overall mortality and BC-specific mortality among BC survivors. The results showed that excess body fatness is linked to poorer survival in women with BC, and substantial weight changes postdiagnosis may contribute to poorer survival.

The results suggest that being overweight or obese and metabolically unhealthy raises the risk of breast cancer, while overweight or obese women with normal insulin levels are not at higher risk.

Summary: By examining the association between baseline and change in cardiovascular health (CVH) score and incident cancer, it was found that preventing cardiovascular disease may also prevent cancer. For every 1-point increase in the CVH score in 1989/1990, there was a 9% decrease in the risk of cancer, compared to a 20% risk reduction for cardiac events. For every unit of change in the CVH score between 1989/1990 and 1996/1997, there was a 5% decrease in the risk of cancer and a 7% decrease in the risk of cardiac events.

Summary: Despite potential exposure to carcinogens, there has been limited research on the cancer profile of veterinarians. This large-scale cohort study in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden found that overall cancer incidence in veterinarians was similar to the general population. However, male veterinarians had elevated incidence of certain cancers before the 1990s, with skin melanoma showing the highest increase. The findings suggest that lifestyle factors may play a role, but there may also be a link between work exposures and kidney and bladder cancers.
