Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals no sociodemographic influences on health-related quality of life and diet adherence in children.

Key Points

  • Adherence to the Mediterranean diet and health-related quality of life were not influenced by sociodemographic factors, suggesting equitable access may help reduce disparities.
  • The KIDSCREEN-20 showed high internal consistency with a reliability score of 0.876 and excellent fit indices, supporting its use for assessing children's quality of life.
  • Cross-sectional analysis included 356 schoolchildren aged 7–14 years from various school types in Valdivia, using the KIDMED questionnaire for diet assessment.
  • Findings indicate that childhood obesity impacts health outcomes, and inclusive school programs may be essential for addressing these issues.
