Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between breakfast consumption behavior and cognitive function in Chinese adults aged 55 years and above, and the mediating effect of diet quality.
Methods: Data were drawn from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) 1997, 2000, 2004, 2006, 2015, and 2018. Participants aged 55 years and above who had at least two waves of completed data on dietary measures and cognitive assessments were eligible. Breakfast consumption behavior was counted during the 3-day 24-h survey period and classified into breakfast skipping and breakfast consumption. Cognitive function was examined using part items of the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status-modified. Three-level linear mixed-effects models were performed to examine the relationship between breakfast consumption behavior and cognitive function due to the repeated-measured data. The Mediating effect of diet quality, indicated by the China Elderly Dietary Guidelines Index 2022 (CDGI 2022-E), was explored.
Results: A total of 5462 participants were included. Significant associations between breakfast consumption behavior and global cognitive score (breakfast skipping vs. consumption: β = -0.77, 95%CI: -1.23, -0.31) as well as global cognitive composite z-score (breakfast skipping vs. consumption: β = -0.22, 95%CI: -0.30, -0.15) were observed in total participants. Similar significant associations were found in participants stratified by age at baseline or gender. Overall diet quality assessed by CDGI 2022-E played a modest mediating role between breakfast consumption behavior and cognitive score.
Conclusions: Habitual breakfast consumption may have the advantage of improving cognitive function in the Chinese older population, in which overall diet quality exerted a mediating effect.

Objective: Healthy nutritional habits during childhood promote healthy growth and development and foster psycho-emotional wellbeing. Our aim was to assess the prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of selected nutritional habits among Albanian schoolchildren.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Albania in 2022, in the framework of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children survey, including a nationwide representative sample of 5,454 schoolchildren aged 11-15 years (≈52% girls; ≈96% response).

Background: Tackling climate change, together with improving indoor air quality, offers a significant opportunity to improve residents' health and well-being. This requires the evidence base to inform an energy-efficient retrofit design.
Objectives: (i) To develop a protocol that could be implemented by local authorities across a range of housing typologies and (ii) to deploy this protocol to establish baseline conditions in = 30 homes ahead of energy-efficient retrofitting.

Context: Lifestyle habits, such as exercise, alcohol consumption, and smoking, are known to be closely associated with the risk of osteoporotic fracture. However, little is known regarding the association between osteoporotic fracture and dietary habits such as skipping breakfast and having a late dinner.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between lifestyle habits, including diet, and the risk of osteoporotic fracture.

Background: COVID-19 has brought about disruptions in the lives of adolescents, which pose a threat to mental health. While multiple studies have suggested a trend of increased depression during COVID-19, only few have explored the protective factors that could support their mental health during this critical period, highlighting a significant gap in the literature.
Methods: The current study investigated the association between lifestyle modifications and changes in COVID-19-induced depressive mood.

Background: This study investigates the current mental health status among children and adolescents in Jiangsu Province by analyzing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress using standardized psychological scales. Machine learning models were utilized to identify key influencing variables and predict mental health outcomes, aiming to establish a rapid psychological well-being assessment framework for this population.
Objective: A cross-sectional survey was conducted via random cluster sampling across 98 counties (cities/districts) in Jiangsu Province, enrolling 141,725 students (47,502 primary, 47,274 junior high, 11,619 vocational high school students, and 35,330 senior high ).
