“…Similar results have been reported for self-rated health in a young adult population 35 and regarding blood pressure and dyslipidaemia in adolescents. 31 32 This may have important implications for the preventive recommendations because (although 60 min of PA is currently recommended, if possible on a daily basis) the fact that positive results of a moderate magnitude can be achieved with very small amounts of MVPA may encourage the participation of the more sedentary people.…”

ObjectivesLittle is known about the dose–response relationship between physical activity and health benefits among young people. Our objective was to analyse the association between the frequency of undertaking moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and the self-reported health status of the adolescent population.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingAll regions of Spain.ParticipantsStudents aged 11–18 years participating in the Spanish Health Behaviour in School-aged Children survey 2006. A total of 375 schools and 21 188 students were selected.Main outcomesThe frequency of undertaking MVPA was measured by a questionnaire, with the following four health indicators: self-rated health, health complaints, satisfaction with life and health-related quality of life. Linear and logistic regression models were used to analyse the association, adjusting for potential confounding variables and the modelling of the dose–response relationship.ResultsAs the frequency of MVPA increased, the association with health benefits was stronger. A linear trend (p<0.05) was found for self-rated health and health complaints in males and females and for satisfaction with life among females; for health-related quality of life this relationship was quadratic for both sexes (p<0.05). For self-reported health and health complaints, the effect was found to be of greater magnitude in males than in females and, in all scales, the benefits were observed from the lowest frequencies of MVPA, especially in males.ConclusionsA protective effect of MVPA was found in both sexes for the four health indicators studied, and this activity had a gradient effect. Among males, health benefits were detected from very low levels of physical activity and the magnitude of the relationship was greater than that for females.

“…The association between exercise and physical wellbeing is also in line with previous findings (e.g. Penedo and Dahn 2005;Galan et al 2010). At the same time it was somewhat surprising that, in contrast to previous research (e.g.…”

“…Participation in leisure physical activity in particular (Penedo and Dahn 2005;Galan et al 2010;Leadbetter and O´Connor 2013), but also participation in culture (Leadbetter and O´Connor 2013) have been associated with better self-rated health. Economic well-being, in turn, has hardly been studied in relation to leisure.…”

This study investigated the associations between leisure consumption and well-being in older adults (50-74 years old). To find out whether these associations are age-specific, they were compared with the associations observed among younger adults (18-49 years old). Differences between the older adults by age and life situation were also examined. This study was based on the "Finland 2014 -Consumption and Life style" survey (N=1351), conducted among a representative sample of the Finnish adult population. Well-being was measured as mental, economic and physical well-being. Objects of leisure consumption were grouped by factor analysis, and the associations between the resulting leisure consumption factors and the dimensions of well-being were studied using regression analysis. In addition, interaction terms were used to compare differences in the associations between younger and older adults, and among older adults varying in their life situation.In the older adults, appearance was related to better mental well-being, literature & culture to better economic well-being, and exercise to better physical well-being. Travel was linked positively to all the dimensions of well-being, and health care negatively to mental and physical well-being. Some differences in the associations were observed between the younger and older adults; for example, exercise but not appearance was associated with better emotional well-being among the younger adults. In general, the associations were stronger in the older than younger adults. Among the older adults, age, employment status, and marital status moderated some associations. Further research, especially with longitudinal data, is needed to clarify the causal relationships between leisure consumption and well-being.

“…In addition, lifestyle health behaviors affect an individual's perception of wellbeing, overall health (Galán, Meseguer, Herruzo, & Rodríguez-Artalejo, 2010;Nakata, Takahashi, Swanson, Ikeda, & Hojou, 2009;Powers & Young, 2008) and quality of life (Boyle, Jones, & Walters, 2010;Ferrer, Huedo-Medina, Johnson, Ryan, & Pescatello, 2011;Fortier-Brochu, Beaulieu-Bonneau, Ivers, & Morin, 2010;Ravens-Sieberer, Nickel, Erhart, & Wille, 2006). Past studies on behavioral influences have also examined coping approaches, and investigators have shifted their focus to how personality contributes to subjective wellbeing (Diener, Suh, Lucas, & Smith, 1999;Steel, Schmidt, & Shultz, 2008).…”

, J. M. (2015). Personality traits and health behaviors as predictors of subjective wellbeing among a multiethnic sample of university-attending emerging young adults. International Journal of Wellbeing, 5(3), Abstract: This study examines the relative contributions of individual characteristics of personality and health behaviors to subjective wellbeing among university-attending emerging young adults. Three dimensions of wellbeing were assessed: affective (positive affect), physical/mental (overall health), and cognitive (quality of life). The sample (N=599) consisted of students of various racial/ethnic backgrounds, including White/non-Hispanic, Hispanic/Latino, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Black/African American from a large public university in Southern California (28% male, 72% female; mean age = 20.85, SD = 1.84). Respondents completed the Student Health Survey, which consisted of items on basic demographics, substance use, health behaviors, Affect Balance Scale, Extraversion and Neuroticism subscales of the Big Five Taxonomy of Personality, Quality of Life scale, and an online food-intake survey for seven days. Descriptive statistics and bivariate correlations were calculated as preliminary analysis and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to examine how each set of predictors contributes to the overall predictive ability and relative importance on subjective wellbeing. Extraverted individuals reported more positive affect and higher quality of life. Neuroticism was associated with less positive affect, poorer health, and lower quality of life. Physical activity was consistently associated with subjective wellbeing, accounting for 33%, 13%, and 32% of the total variance in positive affect, overall health, and quality of life, respectively. Findings indicate that health behaviors are important correlates of three dimensions of wellbeing over and above the effects of personality traits. Implications for designing health and wellness programs to improve the wellbeing and quality of life among young adults are discussed.
