  • Systematic review of physical activity measurement scales validated for Arabic-speaking populations

    Open AccessHajar Mahfoudi, Soumaya Benmaamar et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026

    Background: Accurate assessment of physical activity (PA) is essential for epidemiological research and public health surveillance. In Arabic-speaking countries, most PA questionnaires originate from Western contexts, raising concerns about their cultural relevance and psychometric robustness when applied without proper validation. Objective: This systematic review aimed to identify PA measurement instruments available in Arabic and to critically…

  • Health-related physical fitness in children among five Mediterranean countries

    Open AccessMohamed Aly, Noha El-Gyar et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Background: Health-related fitness (HRF) components are essential for supporting healthy growth and reducing long-term health risks in children. This study explored cross-cultural variations in HRF among children from five Mediterranean countries-Egypt, Italy, Lebanon, Portugal, and Spain-within the framework of the DELICIOUS project. Methods: = 204, 11.72 ± 1.46 years), 150 from Italy (9.66 ± 1.10 years), 200 from Lebanon (10.73 ± 1.90 years), 1…

  • Children's and adolescents' lifestyle factors associated with physical activity in five Mediterranean countries

    Open AccessAlice Rosi, Francesca Scazzina et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Background: Physical activity in children and adolescents represents one of the most important lifestyle factors to determine current and future health. Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the lifestyle and dietary factors linked to physical activity in younger populations across five countries in the Mediterranean region. Design: A total of 2,011 parents of children and adolescents (age range 6-17 years) participating to a preliminary survey …

  • School-based physical activity and health-related fitness in Mediterranean students

    Open AccessMohamed Aly, Achraf Ammar et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Background: Physical inactivity among children is a growing public health concern, particularly in Mediterranean countries, where lifestyle changes have contributed to declining physical fitness levels. Structured school-based interventions have shown promise in improving children's health-related physical fitness (HRF), but cross-cultural differences in intervention effectiveness remain understudied. This study, conducted within the DELICIOUS pr…

  • The need for tailoring school-based physical activity interventions

    Open AccessAchraf Ammar, Mohamed Aly et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Background: Although school-based physical activity (PA) programs are recognized for enhancing children's health-related fitness (HRF), limited evidence exists on how responsiveness varies by country and body weight status. Within the framework of the DELICIOUS project, this study analyzed cross-country variations in anthropometric and health-related fitness (HRF) changes among children with normal weight, overweight, and obesity who participated…

  • The Effects of a School-Based Physical Activity Program on Physical Fitness in Egyptian Children

    Open AccessOsama Abdelkarim, Noha El-Gyar et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    The study confirms that tailored, non-competitive physical activities can positively influence specific fitness components in Egyptian children. However, achieving holistic improvements across all targeted fitness domains may require further strategic adjustments or a longer program duration. This pilot study underscores the importance of culturally tailored, school-based PA programs and highlights the continued need for research and program refi…

  • Daily step counts before, during, and after Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessMohamed Aly, Mezna A AlMarzooqi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    These findings outline the need for strategies in Egypt and Saudi Arabia to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior, especially among young women, to mitigate the negative consequences of COVID-19 and meet physical activity guidelines

  • Attenuated initial serum ferritin concentration in critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 geriatric patients with comorbid psychiatric conditions

    Open AccessOsama A Abulseoud, Asmaa Yehia et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    We examined the effects of psychiatric comorbidity, sex, and ICU admission on serum ferritin concentration in 628 elderly patients (79.7 ± 8.5 years) with positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test. Hospitalization was required in 96% of patients and 17% required ICU admission. Patients with COVID-19 and psychiatric comorbidities ( n = 212) compared to patients without psychiatric comorbidities ( n = 416) had significantly lower ferritin concentration (570.4 ±…

  • Life cycle assessment of an ecological living module equipped with conventional rooftop or integrated concentrating photovoltaics

    Open AccessMarco Raugei, Naomi Keena et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2021

    Climate change is disrupting our environment and business‐as‐usual practices will fail to reverse its impact. This paper focuses on the impact of the building sector and, in particular, it questions the energy and environmental benefits of advanced integrated and more conventional building‐applied photovoltaic (PV) systems, compared to a traditional municipality utility supply. A demonstration project named the ecological living module (ELM) is u…
