Produktbeschreibung
Nutrition is a fundamental pillar of human life, health, and development across one s entire span of life. Because adolescents are the future generation, their nutritional needs are critical for the well being of society. Adolescence is an important period for acquiring and strengthening healthy eating and lifestyle behaviours. A healthy diet, together with physical activity, can prevent or postpone the onset of nutrition-related chronic diseases in adulthood. This first study on Nutrition-related behaviours of Palestinian adolescents, reveals several nutrition-related problems, including high prevalence rates of overweight, weight dissatisfaction, unhealthy weight control behaviours, extreme weight-control behaviours, negative body image or perception of body weight, problems with eating habits and lack of physical activity. Priority areas for interventions were identified, our understanding of potential causes of body weight dissatisfaction was increased and areas for further research were identified.
