Background and Objectives: Adolescence is a critical period of physical mental development, yet allergic diseases are often poorly managed. Factors such as sleep deprivation, obesity, smoking, stress can worsen conditions complicate treatment. This study examines the environmental, behavioral, psychosocial factors influencing in Korean adolescents using data from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES). Materials Methods: From 25,534 participants Fifth KNHNES, 1630 (aged 13–18 years) were selected. We analyzed demographic lifestyle factors, including gender, age, housing type, family size, economic status, tobacco alcohol use, duration, activity. Psychosocial perception, suicidal ideation, depressive symptoms, health counseling, self-rated also examined. Results: The prevalence rates 23% for rhinitis (AR), 11% atopic dermatitis (AD), 9.8% asthma (AS), with 35.8% having at least one condition. Smoking was significantly associated AS (odds ratio [OR] 1.753, p = 0.006), while shorter durations increased AR risk (p 0.000). Male had lower AD (OR 0.706, 0.046), high status inversely correlated 0.445, 0.006). Positive linked to 0.447, male gender 1.391, 0.045), 1.784, 0.026), perception 1.479, 0.013). Conclusions: Low have been identified during adolescence. Integrating counseling medical treatment may improve management outcomes.

Background: University students often experience significant stress, which may contribute to disordered eating behaviors. Objectives: This study examines the relationship between perceived stress and attitudes among physical therapy in Romania, exploring impact on overall well-being identifying predictors of maladaptive patterns. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 192 from Faculty Midwifery Nursing, “Carol Davila” Medicine Pharmacy. Two validated instruments were used: Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) assess behaviors Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14) measure levels. Statistical analyses included correlations, ANOVA, regression models, a significance threshold p < 0.05. Results: Among respondents, 15.1% displayed behaviors, significantly correlating EAT-26 subscales. levels predominantly moderate high, younger reporting higher stress. positive correlation found particularly dieting bulimia/food preoccupation. Female reported than males; however, no gender differences observed No associations BMI, weight fluctuations, scores, suggesting other factors better explain Logistic identified as predictor risk, reinforcing its role shaping Conclusions: impacts attitudes, highlighting need for targeted interventions reduce promote healthy coping mechanisms. Future research should investigate longitudinal patterns effectiveness aimed at improving student well-being. The limited sample size absence sensitivity are notable limitations that constrain generalizability findings.

Functional somatic symptoms (FSSs) in children—such as headaches, stomachaches, and muscle pain without clear medical explanations—pose a significant clinical challenge, often leading to repeated healthcare visits impairments daily functioning. While the role of parental psychological factors shaping children’s FSSs has been suggested, empirical evidence remains limited fragmented. This study addresses this gap by systematically examining associations between parents’ reflective functioning, emotion regulation, alexithymia, physical mental health, frequency severity FSSs. A total 339 parents children aged 6–12 completed surveys assessing their capacity understand states, regulate emotions, identify or describe feelings, well self-reported health. They also indicated whether child experienced (e.g., stomachaches) more than once per week. Results revealed that with reported significantly lower levels functioning (lower certainty, higher uncertainty), alexithymic traits, greater regulation difficulties, alongside poorer health indices. Logistic regression analyses demonstrated difficulties increased likelihood exhibiting FSSs, while emerged predictor. Furthermore, multiple linear challenges poor predicted These findings offer novel insights into how characteristics can shape symptom expression, highlighting need for family-focused interventions. By identifying addressing emotional cognitive clinicians may be able mitigate intergenerational transmission maladaptive stress responses, ultimately reducing burden children.
