“…The previous systematic review also revealed that many other factors such as PA level, socioeconomic status (SES), diet, individual and social factors contribute to either a higher or a lower energy intake among adolescents [52]. In regards to such factors, this review only found weak evidence for the relation between ethnicity and eating and meal skipping behaviours.…”

“…This finding is in agreement with a previous systematic review, which reported that most girls had a desire to be thin as they perceived that a thin figure is the ideal female body image. It also found that girls had higher nutrition knowledge scores than boys, particularly because girls were more likely to read nutritional food labels [52].…”

“…Specifically, the studies included in this review showed that the adolescents who usually skipped meals were Malay or those who usually ate alone [31]. A previous systematic review indicated that there was a significant positive association between peer influence and eating habits, meaning that the higher the peer pressure, the unhealthier the students’ dietary intake [52]. The previous review also suggested that the presence of peers and friends increases the energy intake of children and adolescents [52].…”

The increased prevalence of unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lifestyles among Malaysian adolescents has become a public health concern. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize evidence from observational studies related to diet and physical activity (PA) among Malaysian adolescents (13–18 years) and to recognize the associations between determinants of diet and PA and diet and PA behaviours. A systematic search for observational studies published from August 1990 through August 2017 was conducted via PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane and Web of Science. A total of 18 studies met the inclusion criteria; these were independently extracted by two reviewers. Gender and ethnicity were the most commonly studied correlates of diet and PA; males were more physically active and they tended to have poorer diet quality and higher energy and macronutrient intakes in comparison to females; Malay adolescents had a lower diet quality and Chinese adolescents spent less time in PA compared to other ethnicities. However, the significance of these associations was often small or inconsistent. This review highlights the lack of longitudinal observational studies but summarizes the best available evidence for policymakers and public health practitioners to improve the diet and the level of PA in Malaysian adolescents.

“…During the past two decades, Lebanon has experienced significant changes in its socio-cultural norms, alleviating some of the cultural barriers that young girls used to face such as the negative connotations associated with going out and participating in social activities (45) . These changes may have contributed to the fostering of modern 'westernised' habits among young girls, such as eating out in restaurants and fast food chains, which may at least partly explain the consistent temporal decrease in MD adherence among Lebanese girls (46) .…”

At the time when the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet (MD) are pervasively recognized, a paradoxical observation is the decreasing adherence to this dietary pattern in its native countries. This study aims to investigate temporal trends in adherence to the MD among adolescents (10-19 years old) in Lebanon. Data were drawn from three national cross-sectional surveys conducted at three points in time: 1997 (n = 2004), 2009 (n = 3656), and 2015 (n = 1204). Dietary intake was assessed using 24-hr dietary recalls; and adherence to the MD was assessed using two country-specific indexes: composite Mediterranean (c-MED) index and Lebanese Mediterranean Diet (LMD) index. Significant decreases in c-MED and LDM scores and in the proportion of adolescents adhering to the MD were observed between 1997 and 2015, with more consistent results among females (p<0.05). Projections for year 2030 showed further decreases, with less than a quarter of adolescents remaining adherent to the MD. Based on linear regression analyses, belonging to year 2009 was associated with significantly lower MD scores compared to year 1997, even after adjustment for potential covariates (c-MED : β= -0.16, 95%CI: -0.30;-0.01; LMD: β= -0.42, 95%CI: -0.67;-0.17). Similar results were obtained when comparing survey year 2015 with 1997 (c-MED score: β= -0.20, 95% CI: -0.33;-0.06; LMD score: β= -0.60, 95%CI: -0.82;-0.37). Findings highlight the erosion of the MD among Lebanese adolescents, and underline the need for a comprehensive food system approach that fosters the promotion of the MD as a nutritionally balanced and sustainable dietary pattern.

The physical changes during puberty can affect mental, behavioral, and social performances of adolescents [2]. Puberty is one of the time periods in which there is the highest risk for behavioral, social and sexual problems [3].…”
