Relationship Between Dietary Habits and Physical Activity in Modern Lifestyles

Dear Colleagues,

Physical activity and dietary habits are modifiable factors that play crucial roles in human development and overall health. Low levels of physical activity and poor dietary choices contribute to increased morbidity and mortality by inducing metabolic disorders (such as obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and hyperlipidemia) and sarcopenia. They are also associated with negative mental health impacts and reduced quality-of-life indicators. 

Contemporary living environments, despite offering unprecedented access to scientific knowledge about balanced nutrition and the benefits of physical activity, are not always conducive to the adoption of healthy lifestyle choices, either among healthy individuals or those living with chronic conditions. The dynamic development of technology, including digital media, contributes to prolonged sedentary behavior and an increase in poor dietary decisions. As a result, maintaining an appropriate balance between physical activity and healthy nutrition is becoming increasingly challenging at both individual and societal levels. 

In light of this, we are seeking original research articles (including cross-sectional, longitudinal, or interventional studies), systematic reviews, and meta-analyses related to “Relationship Between Dietary Habits and Physical Activity in Modern Lifestyles.” Expanding our understanding of this subject will help us to more easily identify the determinants of individual and population health and design more effective preventive and interventional strategies.
