Background/Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the lifestyle and behavioral factors that influence nutritional status of adolescents from Transylvania, Romania. Methods: The Global School-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS) was used collect data 900 between 11 18 years old Transylvania region, assessed by calculating BMI indicators adjusted Z-Score, cut-off points according World Organization (WHO), using self-reported weight height; perceived health status; food vulnerability; physical activity; addictive behaviors (cigarette, alcohol drug consumption); number hours spent in front computer/phone; hand oral hygiene; sitting time/day; sleep. Multivariate logistic regression establish influenced status. Results: results showed 8.7% (n = 78) girls 15.2% 137) boys were overweight obese. In total, 75% respondents engaged sedentary behaviors, 65.8% 592) had more than 2 h/day screen exposure, considering 98.7% population a mobile phone. Romanian poor dietary behaviors: over 80% them did not meet recommended amount vegetable fruit intake per day. Increased associated with higher-strength exercise being boy. Conclusions: While some positive trends are evident, such as good hygiene low prevalence smoking use, significant challenges remain areas like nutrition, activity, consumption time.

Background/Objectives: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality globally. To reduce prevalence NCDs, World Health Organization issued guidelines for a healthy lifestyle, which have been adopted in various countries. Our study aimed to evaluate dietary habits ethnic Hungarian population Romania, allowing us identify potential differences nutritional behavior compared country’s general population. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational, questionnaire-based was conducted collect information on eating behavior, food purchasing habits, patterns among Hungarians, largest minority group Romania. The obtained data were interpreted using multivariate analysis (MVDA), including principal component models (PCA-X) establish pattern recognition clustering, orthogonal partial least squares discriminant (OPLS-DA) examine class between identified clusters. Results: total 247 valid questionnaires evaluated; most represented groups females (67.2%), young adults aged 18 30 (56.3%), individuals with normal body mass index (54.7%), those higher education level (45.7%). Health-conscious behaviors more characteristic middle-aged older adults, females, level. Young appear varied diet, but overconsumption unhealthy products lack interest is evident. Conclusions: Appropriate necessary all age groups; however, programs targeting adult Hungarians especially important, as expressed little habits. Further research examining underlying relationship cultural factors well socio-economic could offer new opportunities promote lifestyle.

Background/Objectives: Eating disorders (EDs) are rising among adolescents. BMI, diet, and physical activity influence ED risk, but their interactions complex vary by population. Considering sociocultural changes, this study investigated the prevalence risk factors for EDs in Romanian We evaluated demographic factors, dietary behaviors, (PA), previous specialist consultations using Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) assessed psychometric properties of EAT-26 Methods: A cross-sectional included 423 youths aged 13 to 20 from Cluj-Napoca. Participants completed an online survey on demographics, activity, health consultations. was EAT-26. Confirmatory exploratory factor analyses were conducted EAT-26, binary logistic regression identified predictors risk. Results: The 26.5%, with females having 1.61 times higher odds than males. Consulting a weight or mental increased (OR = 3.76). Higher BMI showed trend unadjusted model 1.06). An initial CFA suboptimal fit. Over 60% sample reported frequent consumption ultra-processed foods. Conclusions: Our findings highlight significant youth, filling critical gap regional public evidence. Despite limitations due design self-reported data, results stress need measures promoting balanced diets, positive body image, improved access reduce growing adolescent Romania.

Background: Adolescence is a pivotal developmental stage marked by physiological and behavioral changes that significantly influence dietary habits long-term health outcomes. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the associations between socio-demographic characteristics, psychological factors, behaviors among school-aged children adolescents in Romania. Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted using structured, self-administered questionnaire completed 662 aged 6 18 years, enrolled primary, middle, high schools across urban rural areas. The evaluated nutritional intake, meal patterns, hydration habits, physical activity, screen time, factors such as fatigue, stress, mood fluctuations. Body mass index (BMI) calculated based on self-reported height weight. Results: analysis reveals significant gender differences body (BMI), weight-loss behaviors, family structure. Female were more likely be underweight (18.27%) compared male (10.82%), while overweight prevalence higher (18.66%) than female (11.68%) (χ2 = 11.457, p 0.009). Dietary patterns varied age groups, with high-school-aged demonstrating lower vegetable consumption increased autonomy over food choices. Primary school exhibited intake of carbonated beverages (OR 0.185, 0.002 for school; OR 0.116, < 0.001 middle school), whereas teenagers showed preference structured meals fast-food intake. Meat frequency correlated greater diversity protein sources 48.77, 0.001), chaotic eating prevalent 2.291, 0.032 2.225, 0.030 school). Hydration played an essential role quality, school-age consuming ≥ 3 L water daily exhibiting healthier 7.146, 0.001). Additionally, fatigue stress associated unhealthy choice. Conclusions: These findings highlight need targeted education, school-based interventions, family-focused strategies improve adolescent behaviors.

This study aimed to explore the relationship between shift-working nurses' social jetlag and body mass index (BMI) provide a theoretical basis for nursing managers develop appropriate health interventions. Shift work is unavoidable in associated with circadian rhythm disorders. Social prevalent nurses adverse outcomes (particularly metabolism-related indicators). BMI significant metabolic indicator, research has demonstrated its effectiveness predicting formation of syndrome. The can be explained by considering physiological, psychological, behavioral factors. However, most studies on status are focused non-shift nurse populations, fewer shift workers. Five tertiary hospitals located at similar latitudes Southwest China were selected study. We surveyed 429 using sociodemographic data, Munich Chronotype Questionnaire Workers, BMI. restricted cubic spline model was used analyze among nurses, segmented linear regression performed around inflection point multiple analysis. results revealed that (82.0 [85.0] min) experienced 64.6% nurses. After controlling confounding variables, seven knots had lowest accepted Akaike information criterion value, there U-shaped this model; (lowest) 20.7 considered cut-off point. Segmented showed < 20.7, significantly negative standardized jetlag; whereas > positive jetlag. jetlag, attention should paid overweight or underweight detect early disorder. Shift-working high tended have higher/lower BMI, which further investigated future, minimize diseases them.

Implementation of business and process transformation can be accomplished by transforming traditional catering enterprises into providers shelf-stable packaged food, capable enduring extended periods without the need for refrigeration or freezing. It is necessary to achieve a F0 value during sterilization minimum 3.0 minutes. Ultra-micro businesses, particularly those in food service industry like simple with household menus, have significant financial burdens when it comes investing equipment ensuring sterilizing procedure adequate. To address, viable approach utilize modified pressure cooker purposes. The objective this study examine thermal distribution cookers evaluate effectiveness various product sector. Product testing involves evaluating using both General Ball Formula methods. research findings indicated that milkfish, squid, grilled chicken, rendang undergone commercial values 7.44, 17.32, 7.01, 8.01 minutes, respectively, at B 74, 83, 88, 82 conducted temperature 246.2°F cooker. variable utilized products provides nine scheduled conditions. With exception chicken satay, entire has capacity remain stable more than 1 year. Commercial enhance shelf life products, improve security, promote sustainability businesses.
