“…Despite being a period characterized by a decrease in healthy behaviors [ 3 , 65 , 66 , 67 ], young people who had this healthy eating habit reported a higher HRQoL in comparison with those who did not. These results are in line with those obtained in different cross-sectional pre-pandemic studies [ 68 , 69 , 70 ], in which a higher fruit consumption was related to a higher HRQoL. This finding could be explained due to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of the bioactive compounds contained in fruits such as folate, vitamin C, polyphenols, fiber, etc.…”

Scientific literature has suggested positive associations between the Mediterranean diet (MD) and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in young populations. However, to our knowledge, this relationship is unexplored during a situation of social isolation (i.e., lockdown). The objective of the current study is to examine the relationship between the MD and HRQoL during the COVID-19 lockdown among preschoolers, children, and adolescents from Brazil and Spain. This cross-sectional study includes a sample of 1099 three- to seventeen-year-old participants (47.6% girls) who were recruited via social networks. The HRQoL was assessed with the EQ-5D-Y. The Quality Index for Children and Teenagers (KIDMED) questionnaire was applied to evaluate the relationship between the MD and HRQoL. The highest prevalence of reported problems was found for worried, sad, or unhappy participants (39.8%). Furthermore, the lowest proportion of HRQoL problems was observed for “mobility” (2.5%). The proportion of high adherence to the MD was 44.3%. Participants with greater MD adherence reported higher HRQoL mean scores when compared with those who did not adhere to the MD (83.7 ± 0.6 vs. 85.6 ± 0.7, respectively; p < 0.05). Adherence to the MD and especially daily fruit intake were related to higher HRQoL during the COVID-19 lockdown among Brazilian and Spanish young people aged three to seventeen years.

“…Better quality of life among highly active respondents was observed among elderly university students around 60 years of age (Krzepota et al, 2015 ). In addition, healthy diet was associated with better quality of life in adolescents (Shariati-Bafghi et al, 2021 ). The mediation effect of lifestyle is also supported by previous evidence revealing that student’s attitudes, decision-making, and behaviours were affected by gender, whether the student was living at parental home, social support and sense of coherence (Nahas et al, 2000 ; Puryer & Wignall, 2016 ; Wang et al, 2016 ).…”

“…Previous studies have investigated the role of health-related behaviours, such as physical activity, internet addiction, and dietary patterns, on health-related quality of life among adolescents and university students (Krzepota et al, 2015 ; Shariati-Bafghi et al, 2021 ; Solis & Lotufo-Neto, 2019 ). In addition, stress, depression, anxiety, and burnout were associated with poor student’s quality of life (Machado et al, 2020 ; Solis & Lotufo-Neto, 2019 ).…”

Objective To examine the relationships between sociodemographic characteristics, student academic information, social support, sense of coherence, anxiety, lifestyle, and quality of life among dental students. Methods: A cross-sectional study among 233 dental students in Brazil. We captured data on sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics, social support through Social Support Appraisal, psychosocial factors (sense of coherence and anxiety based on SOC-13 and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 – anxiety subscale, respectively), lifestyle as per individual Lifestyle Profile and quality of life based on VERAS-Q. Data was analysed through Structural Equation Modelling. Results: Greater social support, higher sense of coherence, lower anxiety, better lifestyle directly predicted better quality of life. Male gender, city of origin did not differ from the city of the campus, higher social support and greater sense of coherence were indirectly linked with better quality of life via better lifestyle. Lower academic semester and higher social support indirectly predicted better quality of life via lower anxiety. Conclusion: Social support, sense of coherence, anxiety, and lifestyle were relevant factors directly associated with dental student’s quality of life. Indirect pathways were observed between gender, moved home to attend dental course, academic semester, social support, sense of coherence, and quality of life.
