“…Healthy eating practices are positively related to the HRQoL [ 17 , 40 , 51 ]. In agreement with the previous results, the present study revealed that the adolescents who consumed a better-quality breakfast [ 26 , 27 ], those who consumed all five meals daily [ 52 ], had lunch and dinner with their family [ 49 , 52 ], and those who had optimal AMD [ 21 , 28 , 43 , 49 , 52 , 53 , 54 ] had a better HRQoL. It is known that the higher diet quality that the MD provides, along with other healthy eating habits like breakfast consumption, offers various physical health benefits.…”

“…Sex and age were found to be positive predictors of the HRQoL. In this study, similarly to previous findings, the boys [ 21 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ] and the younger adolescents [ 39 , 42 , 44 , 45 , 46 ] had a better HRQoL. We expected these findings as sex and age differences in the health-related quality of life are confirmed and could be connected to puberty with all the biological, emotional, and social changes that occur during this period.…”

“…Furthermore, it is known that adolescents with a healthier lifestyle have a better HRQoL [ 53 , 55 ]. In good match with the previous studies, it was also proved that the adolescents spending less time on sedentary habits and using screens less [ 21 , 43 , 56 , 57 ] had a better HRQoL. According to this research, the adolescents who went out for a walk frequently and the adolescents who had hobbies also had a better HRQoL.…”

“…According to this research, the adolescents who went out for a walk frequently and the adolescents who had hobbies also had a better HRQoL. Additionally, sleep quality and good sleep duration have been associated with a better HRQoL in adolescents [ 26 , 43 ]. We found that the adolescents who slept more during the night had a better HRQoL, as also reported in the previous studies [ 21 , 55 , 57 ].…”

Objective: The study aimed at analyzing the relationship between anthropometric characteristics, lifestyle, and dietary habits, as well as the burden of the pandemic on the health-related quality of life among Greek pupils. Research methods and procedures: On the whole, 2088 adolescents aged 12–18 years from Attica, Greece, were enlisted in this school-based cross-sectional study that took place in May–December 2021. Health-related quality of life was estimated through the KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire, adherence to the Mediterranean diet—through the KIDMED test. For the empirical and econometric analyses, the Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis means comparison tests were utilized; multiple linear regression was used accordingly. Results: The present study provides evidence to the fact that boys, younger adolescents, adolescents living with both parents and with highly educated mothers had a better health-related quality of life. Concerning their eating practices, positive predictors were consuming a better-quality breakfast, having all five meals daily, consuming lunch and dinner with parents, and higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Moreover, sufficient night sleep time, fewer hours spent on screen viewing, more frequent walks, and having hobbies were linked to the health-related quality of life with a positive sign. In contrast, negative predictors were higher body mass index and everyday life difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Conclusions: Greek adolescents’ anthropometric characteristics, BMI, lifestyle and sedentary habits, eating habits, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet were significantly related to their perceived health-related quality of life during the pandemic.

“…In fact, higher academic performance during adolescence has been associated with better earnings [7] and health status later in life [8]. While the relationship of adolescents' health with HRQoL [9,10] and academic performance has been widely investigated [6], how the psychological construct of HRQoL and academic performance are associated is understudied and remains to be clarified.…”

Purpose Although previous evidence has suggested a relationship between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and academic performance, the directionality of this association is understudied and remains to be clarified. Thus, the primary objective of this study was to explore the bidirectional association between HRQoL and academic performance in adolescents between two timepoints with a 24-month interval. A secondary aim was to analyze whether this association varies between boys and girls. Methods This is a bidirectional longitudinal analysis with 257 adolescents (13.9 ± 0.3 years at baseline) from the DADOS study. HRQoL was measured using the KIDSCREEN-10 questionnaire. Academic performance was assessed through academic grades and the Spanish version of the Science Research Associates Test of Educational Ability. Results Cross-lagged analyses revealed that HRQoL at baseline was not associated with academic performance 24 months later, while all the academic grades and the overall score of academic abilities at baseline were positively associated with HRQoL at follow-up in adolescents. Results of the stratified analyses by sex were largely similar. Specifically, in girls, math, language, physical education, and grade point average at baseline were positively associated with HRQoL 24 months later, while in boys, all the academic grades indicators (except physical education), numeric ability, and the overall score of academic abilities at baseline were positively associated with HRQoL at follow-up. Conclusion These findings suggest that academic performance in early adolescence may predict HRQoL 24 months later. Health and education professionals could benefit from collaborating to achieve both improved academic performance and HRQoL in youth.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to describe the relationship between body size, form, and composition, and children's lifestyle on health‐related quality of life (HRQoL).MethodsThis cross‐sectional study comprised 1333 children (9.05 ± 0.75 years; 683 females) living in mainland Portugal. Objective anthropometric measures were collected. Parents answered a standardized questionnaire related with children's lifestyle (e.g., sport participation, screen‐ and sleep‐time) and family socioeconomic status (e.g., parental education). HRQoL was measured using the Portuguese version of the KIDSCREEN‐27. Scores were categorized into low and high using a sex‐specific normative cut‐off from European children. A healthier score was created including positive scores for body weight, abdominal obesity, sport participation, sleep‐ and screen‐time.ResultsBody size, form and composition were correlated with children's physical wellbeing. However, sex differences were found in which parameters were associated with wellbeing. Among boys, the body mass index, waist circumference, waist‐to‐height ratio, subscapular and suprailiac skinfold were most correlated with wellbeing, while waist circumference and subscapular skinfold showed the strongest correlations for girls. Sleep duration and sport participation revealed a significant relationship with girls' HRQoL. A logistic regression analysis (adjusted for parental education) revealed that boys scoring 4 or 5 in the healthier index had an increased likelihood of high HRQoL level compared to those fulfilling none.ConclusionsFuture programs aimed at reducing obesity, particularly central obesity, and incorporating multiple health indicators and behaviors, such as sport participation and sleep duration may help improve children's health and wellbeing.
