Cover Story: This nationwide survey explores how sociodemographic, maternal, and lifestyle factors influence children's adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Outcomes of this study involving 4851 children aged 6–9 revealed that maternal education, breastfeeding, and physical activity promote healthier eating, while cesarean delivery and higher birth weight are linked to lower adherence. Notably, better diet quality correlates with fewer depressive and anxiety symptoms, underscoring the Mediterranean diet’s potential role in childhood mental health. View this paper
