Despite what we know, physical activity continues to decline
Despite decades of robust evidence on the benefits of regular physical activity, the fitness and health of young people are in worrying decline worldwide. Today, around 80% of adolescents fail to meet recommended daily activity levels, a trend which parallels an increase in youth overweight and obesity rates. This perspective paper examines the wide-ranging consequences of inactivity in adolescence, ranging from heightened long-term risks of chro…
Sport engagement and life satisfaction in late childhood
Background: While sport participation and physical activity are widely recognized as beneficial for children's well-being, limited research has examined how the frequency of sport engagement relates to life satisfaction (LS) in late childhood. This study aimed to (1) describe the frequency of sport participation, active transport, and LS among Norwegian children aged 10-12 years, and (2) assess the associations between sport participation frequen…
Socioeconomic status, sport participation, and school-related outcomes among Norwegian adolescents
Background Extensive research highlights the critical role of sport and physical activity (PA) engagement during adolescence, as it is strongly associated with enhanced subjective well-being, reduced risk of mental health problems, and prevention of chronic diseases in adulthood. Thus, it is highly important to identify key barriers of sport participation in adolescence. The present study aimed to; (1) describe socioeconomic status (SES) across d…
The relationship between sleep duration and physical activity level among Norwegian adolescents
Background Failure to adhere to sleep and physical activity recommendations among adolescents constitutes a public health problem. However, the associations between sleep duration and adolescents’ physical activity levels remain less explored. The aims of this paper were twofold: (1) to describe sleep and physical activity levels among Norwegian school-based adolescents, stratified by school level and sex and (2) to explore the association betwee…
Scaling up evidence-based digital early life nutrition interventions in a county setting
Background Few effective health interventions transition from smaller efficacy or effectiveness studies to real-world implementation at scale, representing a gap between evidence and practice. Recognising this, we have developed Nutrition Now – a tailored digital resource building on four efficacious dietary interventions, aiming to improve nutrition in the important first 1,000 days of life. Nutrition Now targets and guides expectant parents and…
Adherence to physical activity recommendations and associations with self-efficacy among Norwegian adolescents
Background: The crucial role of physical activity (PA) in promoting well-being and overall health of adolescents is widely acknowledged. Previous global studies have consistently revealed low adherence to PA recommendations among adolescents, emphasizing potential links between PA engagement and self-efficacy in school-based populations. However, there is a need for further exploration of this relationship, in particularly gender differences and …
Use of Over-The-Counter Analgesics Is Associated with Pain, Stress, and Quality of Life in Norwegian Adolescents
Introduction : Approximately 20% of Norwegian adolescents are frequently using Over-the-Counter Analgesics (OTCAs). The WHO emphasizes the need for research to identify the key determinants of health problems in adolescence. Thus, our aim was to describe and explore pain, stress, and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) in Norwegian adolescents and investigate possible associations upon high/low usage of OTCAs. Methods : This cross-sectional st…
The relationship between perceived school stress and satisfaction with life among Norwegian school-based adolescents and the moderating role of perceived teacher care
Higher perceived school stress was strongly inversely associated with life satisfaction in Norwegian adolescents, in both girls and boys, and in both lower and secondary school. Teacher care was identified as a moderator and seems to play a crucial part in the everyday life of Norwegian adolescents. These implications extend to teacher education, practice, and policy, which should be aware of the pivotal role of perceived teacher care on Norwegia…
Adherence to sleep recommendations is associated with higher satisfaction with life among Norwegian adolescents
Most Norwegian adolescents fail to adhere to the 8-hours of sleep recommendation and the majority feel tired at school or during activities. More than half of adolescents reported that screen time negatively affected their ability to sleep. Adhering to the sleep recommendation was associated with higher life satisfaction. Our findings highlight the importance of sufficient sleep in adolescents, while future research is needed to examine other sle…
Associations between levels of physical activity and satisfaction with life among Norwegian adolescents
Background A robust association between physical activity (PA) and satisfaction with life (SWL) has been established, wherein self-efficacy has been identified as a mediator across different populations. However, there is a need to further examine the relationship between PA and SWL and whether self-efficacy act a as mediator within different levels of PA among Norwegian adolescents. Thus, the objective of this study was to explore the relationsh…
Pain in Adolescence
The findings of this study demonstrated that sociodemographic factors such as high educational status in mothers and mothers working part-time were associated with lower pain in Norwegian adolescents. These findings highlight the importance of a holistic approach to pain management in adolescence
Staff feeding practices, food neophobia, and educational level in early education and care settings
Feeding practices in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings are important for the development of healthy eating habits early in life. However, there is limited research on feeding practices among ECEC staff working with infants and toddlers, and how these practices relate to staff education. This study assessed the feeding practices, level of food neophobia, and participation in shared meals among ECEC staff, and examined whether ther…
