dc.description.abstract | Unhealthy lifestyles, low levels of physical fitness, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet
(MD) are associated with bad quality of life and the development of a wide range of non-communicable
diseases (NCDs). The current study aimed to evaluate the level of adherence to the MD in physical
fitness performance and body composition parameters in children and adolescents of Estonia.
Therefore, 413 adolescents (56% boys) from the city of Tartu completed the Mediterranean Diet
Questionnaire (KIDMED) for analyzing the adherence to MD and performed the Alpha Fitness Test
for measuring physical fitness and body composition. A 41.67% of low, 44.05% of average, and
14.28% of high adherence to MD was detected, without difference between genders (p = 0.747). In the
Alpha Fitness battery, a higher performance was observed in all tests for boys vs. girls (p < 0.05).
In relation to body composition, higher height, weight, and waist values were observed in boys
(p < 0.05) and a lower body fat percentage (p < 0.01) without differences in body mass index (BMI;
p = 0.906). The adherence to the MD is classified as average/low. Gender significantly influences all
variables of the Alpha Fitness battery and anthropometrics measures excepting BMI. According the
levels of adherence to the MD, no statistically different prevalence was observed for Non-Overweight
(N-Oweight), Non-Overfat (N-Ofat), or Non-Overwaist (N-Owaist). Still, a risk factor for Overweight
(Oweight) in boys with low adherence was observed in comparison to those with a mid-level of
adherence to the MD. | es |
