Summary: This study evaluated the association between diet quality, assessed by the Diet Quality Index for Adolescents adapted for Brazilians (DQIA-BR), and cardiometabolic markers in Brazilian adolescents. The results showed that the effects of diet quality on cardiometabolic risk factors differ according to sex and the presence of overweight/obesity. Overall, DQIA-BR is a suitable tool to evaluate the association between diet quality and cardiometabolic markers in normal-weight adolescents, but not for adolescents, especially girls, with overweight/obesity.

Summary: The study analyzed the association between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) or the children's C-DII and cardiometabolic risk and inflammatory biomarkers in children and adolescents. All papers found a positive association, indicating that a proinflammatory diet is linked to a higher risk of early development of cardiometabolic and inflammatory changes during childhood.

Summary: The study found that increased screen time is associated with poorer adherence to the Mediterranean diet, while lower parental education levels are correlated with poorer adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Therefore, it is necessary to promote responsible and limited use of screen time to improve adherence to a healthy diet.

Summary: The study found significant associations between screen time, sleep duration, and depressive symptoms among Chinese adolescents, with sleep duration mediating the relationship between screen time and depressive symptoms. Future interventions targeting depressive symptoms in adolescents should focus on managing sleep time and reducing screen time.

Summary: The study found that in males, television and video game time at 11 years and computer time at ages 11 and 15 had a positive effect on working memory, with these effects being mediated through IQ. In females, there was no significant association between screen time measures at ages 11, 15, and 18 and working memory.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the dietary patterns of US firefighters and examine their association with cardiometabolic outcomes. The findings showed that the Mediterranean diet was associated with more favorable cardiometabolic profiles, while the Standard American diet had an inverse association. These findings could provide adequate nutrition recommendations for US firefighters to improve their health.

Summary: This study investigated the associations between screen time and lifestyle behaviors in American adolescents. The results showed that more than two hours of television time was significantly associated with lower frequency of eating fruits and vegetables, as well as smoking. More than two hours of computer/video time was significantly associated with physical inactivity, insufficient sleep, and not eating fruits.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the independent associations and interactions between physical activity, screen time, and BMI in adolescents. The findings showed that a combination of low screen time and high step count was associated with lower BMI percentile in adolescents. These results have significant implications for future guidance on screen time and physical activity for adolescents.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and environmental factors associated with adolescents' participation in leisure-time sports and screen-time. The results showed that internal motivation was positively related to sports participation and inversely related to screen-time. Support from family and coaches, access to neighborhood sports facilities, and fewer barriers were positively associated with sports participation. However, neighborhood social norms were negatively associated with sports participation.

Summary: This study aimed to describe the 24-hourly distribution of dietary intakes and frequency of eating occasions for children aged 18 months and assess associations with vegetable, fruit, and discretionary intakes and zBMI. The findings showed that children had frequent eating occasions throughout the day, with low vegetable intake and higher frequency of discretionary food intake. Promoting vegetable consumption at times other than dinner could improve vegetable intake.

Summary: Comprehensive metrics are needed to measure dietary patterns and assess the effectiveness of policy actions promoting sustainable healthy diets. A scoping review found that current dietary metrics have a strong adherence to health-related principles but weak adherence to environmental and sociocultural principles. None of the existing metrics capture all principles of sustainable healthy diets, which highlights the importance of including these aspects in future dietary recommendations.

Summary: Excess free sugars intake contributes to dental caries and obesity in children. Food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) that assess free sugars intake in young children are limited. This study evaluated the utility of a 68-item FFQ to assess free sugars intake in Australian young children against three 24-h recalls at ages 1.5, 3.5, and 5.0 years. The FFQ showed good validity at age 1.5 years. For ages 3.5 and 5.0 years, the FFQ showed good validity for individual-level tests only.

Summary: Identifying clustering and correlates of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) is crucial for lifestyle interventions in children and adolescents. This systematic review aimed to identify PA and SB cluster patterns and their correlates in boys and girls aged 0-19 years. The study found different cluster patterns between boys and girls, but both sexes showed better adiposity profiles in high PA low SB clusters. The results suggest that reducing SB is necessary in addition to increasing PA to manage adiposity correlates.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed digital interventions to increase vegetable intake in adults. The findings suggest that a minority of digital interventions were effective, and their effectiveness was associated with the use of behavior change theories and stakeholder involvement in intervention design. The results highlight the need for better utilization of behavior change theories and comprehensive design methods in digital interventions, as well as addressing both behavior change and food environment influences on vegetable intake.

Summary: This study found that socio-economic position in adolescence has an impact on diet quality in early adulthood. Home availability of fruit and vegetables is an important factor that mediates the relationship between socio-economic position and diet quality. Therefore, interventions to improve the diet quality of adolescents with a lower socio-economic position should prioritize improving environmental factors.

Summary: This study identified three classes of lifestyle behaviors among emerging adults and their associations with depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. The class characterized by healthier lifestyle had lower risk of these symptoms, while the class characterized by high substance use and low physical activity had higher risk. Future research and prevention strategies should target emerging adults and focus on their lifestyle patterns.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between household dietary patterns and sociodemographic characteristics and BMI in Iranian adults. A nationally representative sample of 6,833 households (n = 17,824 adults) was used. Principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to identify three dietary patterns, and linear regression was performed to examine associations with sociodemographic characteristics and BMI. Results showed that all dietary patterns were positively associated with BMI, with the strongest association found for the pattern characterized by high citrus fruit intake (beta: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.43, 0.55).

Summary: The study explores the perceptions of Australian primary school teachers on assessing children's physical literacy (PL) through a mixed-methods design. The results indicate that a majority of teachers support PL assessment and consider movement skills, engagement and enjoyment, relationships, and safety and risk as the most important assessment elements. However, some teachers express skepticism towards PL assessment due to doubts about its relevance and appropriateness, as well as the perceived implicit link between the curriculum and PL framework. The study suggests that professional development, resources, and suitable teacher assessments can enhance teachers' knowledge, confidence, and facilitate the implementation of PL assessments.
