Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The intersection between lifestyle and the development of children's health is a vital area of study that has evolved significantly. The understanding of childhood and its role in health has transitioned towards a comprehensive focus on holistic well-being. This Special Issue aims to delve into the diverse aspects of lifestyle that influence children's health, including diet, physical activity, sleep, sedentary behavior, and mental health. By examining innovative research and interventions, we strive to provide a thorough understanding of how lifestyle choices affect children's long-term health outcomes. We welcome original research, reviews, and short communications that offer fresh insights and practical applications for enhancing children's health via lifestyle modifications.
