Summary: Recently, the well-being of older people measure (WOOP) was developed and validated in a Dutch population, with the potential to be used in a wider population. This study aimed to examine the relationship between WOOP and EQ-5D-5L and compare their psychometric properties among different groups. The results showed that WOOP measures a broader construct beyond health, while EQ-5D-5L is more sensitive when health is considered alone. There is potential for using WOOP in a wider population.

Summary: This systematic review examined the combinations of physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep duration and their effects on physical, psychological, and educational outcomes in children and adolescents. The review included 141 studies and found that high levels of physical activity and low levels of sedentary behavior were associated with positive outcomes. Sleep was often included in the combination associated with favorable outcomes. Sedentary behavior had a stronger impact on adolescents and was more negatively associated with outcomes when defined as screen time.

Summary: Body image is an important factor that affects a person's self-perception, and it is influenced by age and gender. The way a person views themselves can impact their eating behavior and physical activity, which in turn affects their weight and body mass index (BMI). This study aims to investigate the association between BMI, age, and body self-perception of university students, with a focus on gender differences. The findings suggest that there are statistically significant differences in body self-perception and BMI among male and female students. Therefore, interventions should be developed to improve body image and promote a healthy self-perception among students.
