Summary: Sleep quality, diet quality, and physical activity are significant factors influencing physical and mental health in Chinese elderly population. The relationships among these factors are closely related, with diet quality and physical activity mediating the effects of sleep quality on physical and mental health. By targeting sleep quality, diet quality, and physical activity, interventions can be made to improve the overall health of older adults.

Summary: This study reviewed the contribution of the EPIC study to the understanding of the impact of diet, alcohol, body-mass index (BMI), and physical activity on cancer mortality. It identified several dietary factors, physical activity, and healthy lifestyle recommendations that can reduce the risk of cancer mortality, while poor diet quality and obesity were found to increase this risk. The EPIC study provides valuable information on diet and lifestyle factors for cancer mortality prevention.

Summary: The study found that toddlers from households with higher poverty ratios had more inconsistent sleep onset times, and sleep onset consistency indirectly explained the association between household poverty and toddler BMI z-score.

Summary: This study evaluated and compared the impacts of diet and physical activity on women's cancer mortality using data from the NHANES III. A healthful diet was associated with lower cancer mortality, even after adjusting for obesity, inflammation, and other covariates. Diet may play a stronger role in reducing cancer mortality in women than physical activity.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate physical activity liking in college women and found that body size perception and dietary behaviors impact physical activity liking. It also highlighted that women who enjoy but do not actively participate in physical activity tend to have higher levels of dietary restraint and lower diet quality.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the proportion of adolescents meeting sleep, physical activity, and screen time recommendations, analyze the associations between habitual behaviors and BMI, and determine the potential impact of reallocating time between different habitual behaviors on BMI. The findings showed that adolescents generally did not meet all daily recommendations and age was positively correlated with BMI. Additionally, replacing MVPA with LPA led to a significant increase in BMI.

Summary: In this study, it was found that higher levels of physical activity were associated with improvements in cardiometabolic variables, although baseline physical activity did not predict more weight loss during the low-calorie diet. The analysis suggests that self-imposed higher levels of physical activity may improve cardiometabolic risk profiles during weight loss and aid in maintaining weight loss.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical activity (PA), obesity, and quality of life (QoL) among rural Australian cancer survivors. The study found that sufficient PA was associated with better QoL and more energy, while obesity was associated with worse QoL and more pain. The interaction between PA and obesity on QoL was not significant.

Summary: This study aimed to identify dietary and physical activity patterns in children with overweight and obesity through cluster analysis. Three clusters were identified with varying levels of physical activity and adherence to dietary recommendations. The study found that cluster 3, with the highest physical activity level, had lower body fat percentage and higher lean body mass compared to cluster 2. Adherence to both physical activity and dietary guidelines is important in understanding obesogenic habits in pediatric populations.

Summary: This study examined the effects of reallocating time between physical activity, sedentary time, and sleep on quality of life in cancer survivors. The findings suggest that changes in 30 minutes of these activities may not impact quality of life among survivors achieving adequate levels of physical activity and sleep. Future research should aim to recruit a larger, more representative sample and explore the role of bouted activity time.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the short-term effect of a very low calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) on sleep quality in overweight/obese women. The results showed that VLCKD significantly improved sleep quality, and this improvement was mainly due to the reduction in fat mass.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on health behaviors among cancer survivors. Strict restrictions and changes in routines have led individuals to adjust their diet, alcohol intake, and exercise behaviors. The typology identified in this study helps to define how different orientations to health behaviors could underpin the responses of individual cancer survivors.

Summary: By examining the experiences of 20 young adults who attempted to adopt a vegan diet, this study identified the psychological factors that influence the success and maintenance of veganism. The study found that motivation, difficulties, and satisfaction were important factors in adhering to a vegan diet. Challenges such as limited accessible vegan options and social acceptance issues require intervention and support.

Summary: This study aimed to explore factors associated with perceived need for weight change among cancer survivors. The results showed that a significant proportion of overweight and obese survivors did not perceive a need to lose weight, which was associated with factors such as age, gender, race, marital status, cancer spread, education level, comorbidities, and chemotherapy. Support for weight management is needed for cancer survivors.

Summary: This study found that adherence to the World Cancer Research Fund's health behavior recommendations, particularly the recommendation for physical activity, was associated with reduced fatigue and improved quality of life in individuals with breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer. Meeting the recommended level of physical activity and adhering to certain dietary habits were associated with decreased odds of experiencing severe fatigue, and adherence to physical activity guidelines was also associated with reduced odds of having quality of life issues.

Summary: This study assessed the potential of the COOKKIT intervention to improve healthy eating behaviors among primary school-aged children from low-income families. It found that COOKKIT provided engaging resources for children and school staff, with take-home kits facilitating continued engagement in healthy eating at home. Participants highlighted the combined benefits of healthy eating information, practical skills, and low costs in supporting families to adhere to the COOKKIT advice beyond the intervention.

Summary: This study investigated dietary changes among individuals living with and beyond cancer during the pandemic. The findings showed decreased intake for fruit, vegetable, and alcohol consumption, and increased snack intake. These changes varied across different characteristics, suggesting that the impact of the pandemic was not equal among this population.

Summary: People with severe mental ill health have poor physical health, and physical activity can help improve their health. However, the evidence on interventions to increase physical activity is not strong enough, and more high-quality research is needed to guide best practices and policy-making.
