“…This result clearly demonstrates the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, which has been previously related to a better state of general health, a lower body mass index, and a reduced risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases [56]. Given that the nutritional patterns characteristic of the Mediterranean diet are associated with reduced obesity, reduced excess weight, and better general health, its consumption will markedly affect the self-concept, particularly the physical self-concept, reported by school children [57,58].…”

The objective of the present study was to define and contrast an explanatory model relating the motivational climate, body mass index, and adherence to a Mediterranean diet with the self-concept of school children. A further objective was to analyze the existing relationships between the variables included in the developed model according to sex, using a multi-group structural equation analysis. In the study, a total of 734 school children, of both sexes, reported their perceived motivational climate towards sport, body mass index, adherence to a Mediterranean diet, and self-concept. These children were aged between 10 and 12 years old and attended public school in the province of Granada (Spain). The multi-group structural equation model developed demonstrated an excellent fit to the empirical data (χ2 = 228.179; DF = 40; p < 0.001; CFI = 0.965; NFI = 0.958; IFI = 0.968; RMSEA = 0.048). The findings identified a direct negative relationship between the ego climate and the task climate. Furthermore, an inverse relationship was found between the task climate and body mass index, and a direct relationship was found between the ego climate and body mass index. Meanwhile, Mediterranean diet adherence was directly related to the task climate and negatively related to the ego climate. The main conclusions of the present study highlight the positive effects of a task-oriented motivational climate and adherence to a Mediterranean diet, with regards to body mass index. Furthermore, a task-oriented motivational climate and a lower body mass index are related to a more positive self-concept.

“…Recent evidence suggests that the beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet may depend on their content in polyphenols [ 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ]. The Mediterranean dietary pattern has been associated with lower risk of cardio-metabolic disorders [ 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 ]. Previous results from this cohort showed a significant inverse association between higher adherence to this dietary pattern and hypertension [ 62 ]; however, another study showed that phenolic acid intake was associated in a non-linear manner to high adherence to the Mediterranean diet, suggesting that certain food sources of such polyphenol group not included in the classical paradigm of key features of the Mediterranean diet may provide beneficial action toward cardiovascular health [ 63 ].…”

Background: Certain foods rich in phenolic acids have been shown to reduce the risk of hypertension, but evidence from epidemiological studies focused on dietary phenolic acid intake is scarce. The aim of this study was to determine the association between dietary phenolic acid intake, as well as their major food sources, and hypertension in a Mediterranean cohort. Methods: Demographic and dietary data of 2044 adults living in Southern Italy were collected. Food frequency questionnaires and Phenol-Explorer were used to calculate dietary intake of polyphenols. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to test associations. Results: The mean intake of total phenolic acids in the cohort was 362.6 mg/day. Individuals in the highest quartile of phenolic acid intake (median intake = 522.2 mg/day) were less likely to have hypertension (OR (odds ratio) = 0.68, 95% CI (confidence interval): 0.46, 1.00). When taking into account individual subclasses of phenolic acids, only hydroxyphenylacetic acid was inversely associated with hypertension (highest vs. lowest quartile, OR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.40, 0.96). Among dietary sources of phenolic acids considered in the analysis, only beer was significantly inversely associated with hypertension (highest vs. lowest quartile, OR = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.15, 0.68). Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that dietary phenolic acids may be inversely associated with hypertension, irrespectively of their dietary source.

“…Stress perception was higher in males and females who perceived themselves as obese or thin. Compared to previous studies, adolescents stress was becoming obese (Chiang et al, 2019) and increasing the actual obesity is high (Hanlon et al, 2019) normal-weight perception, overweight perception, and underweight perception adolescents varied (Buscemi et al, 2018) and showed similar or different results from the reported as unrelated to personal BMI (Yayan and Çelebioğlu, 2018). Experiences of depression were more common in males who perceived themselves as thin and in females who perceived themselves as obese.…”

“…The proportion of the normal-weight adolescents who perceived themselves as thin was high in males and the proportion who perceived themselves as fat was high in females (Choi and Kim, 2017). In efforts for weight control, the proportion of efforts to lose weight was higher in females than males, and the proportion of efforts to maintain weight in the normal-weight group was lower than in the overweight and obese groups (Buscemi et al, 2018). But the efforts for the weight that it was higher in abnormal perception group (Hawkins et al, 2018).…”

Inappropriate adolescent health behavior can be influenced by the negative impact of physical and mental health promotion. Obesity influences subjective improper weight perception. This study aimed to verify Korean normal-weight adolescents' subjective experience of weight control, mental health, physical activity, and subjective status based on their body mass index (BMI). As a result, efforts to control weight appeared less in normal-weight boys. Thin girls were less likely to carry out 60 min of physical activity 7 or 5 days per a week. Obese boys were less likely to carry out vigorous physical activity 3 days per a week. Normal-weight girls were less likely to practice muscular strength training 3 days per a week. Thin boys and thing girls were less likely to practice regular physical activity, and less likely to practice at the rate stipulated in the sedentary behavior guideline. In conclusion, boys and girls with inappropriate weight perception reported feeling stressed and depressed, and reported subjective sleep fulfillment, perceived subjective happiness, and perceived subjective health.
