Summary: Satisfaction with safety and how adults listen to children are the most important factors for children's well-being. This study examines the mediating effects of these factors on children's perceptions of safety and subjective well-being in Spain, Brazil, and Chile. The study finds that perceived contexts and parental support are crucial for assessing personal safety and well-being, with age and country influencing the relationships.

Summary: The TWIN-10 Study aims to characterize the trajectories of well-being and resilience over 12 years, taking into account genetic and environmental factors. Data from genetics, environment, psychological self-report, neurocognitive performance, and brain function will be integrated to predict trajectory groups of well-being and resilience.

Summary: The study analyzed sociodemographic correlates of screen time use among 9- and 10-year-old children, finding differences based on factors such as gender, race/ethnicity, and household income. Black children reported more screen time per day on average, while Asian children reported less compared to White children. Boys reported higher overall screen time than girls, with girls spending more time on texting, social networking, and video chat.

Summary: Boys participating in sports clubs showed higher levels of well-being and better physical health profiles compared to those not involved in sports club activities. Footballers had superior aerobic fitness and body composition compared to boys active in other sports. Sports club activities seem to be beneficial for young boys' well-being, fitness, and physical health profile, with the greatest benefits achieved by boys involved in football.

Summary: The objective of this study is to identify the latent relationship between subjective and psychological well-being, and to measure invariance in a sample of 12-year-old children from 30 countries. Results suggest that levels of subjective and psychological well-being are moderate and high, respectively, and point to significant differences in well-being indicators by country. In addition, subjective well-being is related to psychological well-being through a general adjustment model with oblique factors. Finally, the model of latent relationships presents metric invariance across nationalities.

Summary: Ensuring adequate iodine intake and monitoring iodine status is important for the growth and development of children. However, there is limited data on the iodine status of children in Russia. Nationwide monitoring should be implemented and public health measures should be adjusted to regional and local conditions to ensure adequate iodine nutrition for all citizens.

Summary: This study found associations between different types of maltreatment and psychosocial problems in early childhood. Positive parent-child interactions can mitigate the negative impact of maltreatment on psychosocial outcomes, particularly in the case of occasional physical abuse. More frequent parent-child interactions may be an important intervention opportunity for some children.

Summary: Exposure to adversity during the first years of life might be biologically embedded and have long-term effects. This study found a link between childhood victimization (adverse childhood experiences-ACEs and bullying) and high levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) in children, and it suggests that this association might be partially explained by its influence on the child's body mass index (BMI). Further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms behind the emergence and persistence of poor health outcomes in victims of abuse.

Summary: The study found that InBody 270 is a valid BIA system for estimating body composition, with good reliability compared to DEXA. However, there were significant biases in the measurements of fat and muscle mass values with BIA, and these biases were sex-dependent.

Summary: The study did not support the primary hypothesis that optimal well-being is more prevalent after anxiety compared to depression. The highest rates of optimal well-being were found in adults previously diagnosed with major depressive disorder, followed by panic disorder, and then generalized anxiety disorder. Exploration analyses showed that optimal well-being was approximately twice as prevalent in individuals without anxiety or depression at baseline, with baseline well-being partially predicting post-anxiety optimal well-being.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between parental recreational screen media practices, including time use and level of smartphone addiction, and behavioral difficulties in 7-year-old children. The findings showed no consistent association between parental recreational screen time and behavioral difficulties in their children, but revealed a link between excessive maternal smartphone use and behavioral difficulties in their children.

Summary: This study examines changes in psychological distress and affect over a period of 20 years and 10 years respectively. Cross-sectional findings show that older age is related to lower levels of distress and negative affect and higher levels of positive affect. However, longitudinal findings vary across different age groups.

Summary: This study examined the psychiatric comorbidities in children with overweight and obesity during middle childhood. The findings showed that these children were more likely to have major depressive disorder and binge eating disorder. Children with obesity also had higher rates of separation anxiety disorder, specific phobia, and oppositional defiant disorder, while children with overweight had higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Summary: The oldest-old population in Europe is increasing, leading to a greater focus on promoting mental well-being in this age group. Research aims to understand and promote positive mental well-being in the oldest-old population and compare it with other age groups, providing empirical evidence of the multidimensional structure of mental well-being.
