Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A comprehensive understanding of the determinants affecting the physical, psychological, and social dimensions of childhood is imperative for the promotion of lifelong well-being and optimal health outcomes. By conducting an accurate assessment of these factors, we can augment our insights, providing a more robust foundation for the development of evidence-based strategies and policies aimed at fostering the holistic health of children.
The forthcoming Special Issue is dedicated to describing the magnitude of changes in children's health, encompassing obesity, adiposity, cardiometabolic risk, sensory reactivity, coordination disorders, emotional and behavioral problems, mental and psychomotor problems, and other factors that affect their well-being. Additionally, we seek to compile papers that examine the influence of environmental factors on physical, mental, or social health outcomes. We extend our invitation to the submission of diverse types of manuscripts, such as original research articles and reviews (scoping reviews, systematic reviews, and/or meta-analyses). Furthermore, diverse methodological and theoretical approaches are also welcome to be submitted.
