Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lifestyle is an important effector of health and a known contributor to disease prognosis. During childhood and adolescence in particular, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is a learnt procedure that can be continued throughout life, thus safeguarding health. In parallel, for several diseases, lifestyle medicine is the first line of treatment; however, for many more, it can act adjuvantly and can improve health outcomes, one’s quality of life and reduce adverse events related to medication.
In this Special Issue of Children, we welcome the submission of manuscripts that provide either original research or reviews on the current state of research. Observational and interventional studies are equally welcome, in parallel to narrative reviews and evidence synthesis, in an effort to gather new insight on the current lifestyle of children and adolescents, and the effect of lifestyle medicine on different health issues.
