Background: We compared differences in physical activity (PA) between pre/mid-pubertal and post-pubertal participants according to gender. Methods: The study included a total of 1842 healthy participants aged 12.5-17.4 years, who participated in the Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence (HELENA) study. Participants wore a uniax...

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify dietary patterns (DPs) in European adolescents and to examine the association between perceptions of healthy eating and the obtained DPs. Method: A multinational cross-sectional study was carried out in adolescents aged 12.5 to 17.5 years and 2,027 (44.9% males) were considered for analysis. A self-r...

Introduction: Inflammation is related to insulin resistance in adults, especially on those individuals with high levels of body composition. Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between a set of inflammatory biomarkers and insulin resistance by levels of body composition in a sample of European adolescents. Material a...

... Sin desconocer el efecto de la interrelación entre los aspectos anteriores, actualmente se hace necesario profundizar en el papel de la dimensión cognitiva en las conductas alimentarias de las personas (26) y mejorar la comprensión de los adolescentes sobre los conceptos relacionados con la salud y la nutrición. Lo anterior puede conducir a la adopción de estilos de vida más saludables en esta población (27). Por esto, se debe contribuir a que los estudiantes se apropien de manera significativa del conocimiento, en este caso de la nutrición humana, y puedan aplicarlo de manera que se traduzca en decisiones certeras para sus vidas. ...
... Health benefits related to the participation of students in sport and physical recreation have been extensively documented [12,13,14,15]. With OPA, we can balance this decrease on non-school days [16,17]. OPA has a positive influence on children's self-perception [18], produces better learning outcomes [19] and improves school behaviour [20,21,22]. ...
... Despite the short duration of this intervention, there is an outstanding reduction in the obesity scores and a possible reduction in the low-graded persistent inflammation (CRP) associated with this disorder. In the European study HELENA (Health Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence), several inflammatory biomarkers measured in adolescents from nine countries showed that HOMA-IR and CRP together with complement C3 exhibited the highest levels of BMI and fat index [50,51]. These results were confirmed for a large sample of children, supporting the inflammatory state related to BMI. ...
... Among the different factors that may influence the CF, from genetic to environmental factors ( Barbieri, 2010), stimulating an active lifestyle represents an important contribution to the development and maintenance of the individual's CF (World Health Organization [WHO], 2010). Evidence with accelerometer measurements shows that moderate and/or vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) is positively related to CF, with moderate intensity having a weaker relationship with CF than vigorous intensity (Gutin, Yin, Humphries, & Barbeu, 2005), which is based on the results obtained by Martinez-Gomez et al. (2010). ...
