The International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity

The International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity (IJBNPA) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that provides high-quality articles with quick publication times and broad visibility in the public domain. This journal focuses on enhancing the understanding of how behaviors influence diet and physical activity. It stands out by examining these issues from various perspectives, including populations, groups, and individuals, while also covering areas like epidemiology, behavioral research, theoretical frameworks, and measurement techniques. IJBNPA places a strong emphasis on studies from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), systematic reviews (with or without meta-analyses), and observational research. It also considers other types of research such as innovative methodological papers, thorough qualitative studies, debate articles, and commentaries. However, IJBNPA only publishes pilot studies in rare cases and does not accept protocol papers or letters to the editor.

The PRISMA guidelines were followed in the conduct and reporting of this systematic umbrella review and meta-meta-analyses [27]. The databases searched included CINAHL Complete (via EBSCOhost), SPORTDiscus (via EBSCOhost), Web of Science, MEDLINE (via OVID), PubMed, PsycINFO (via OVID), Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library.
Prospective associations of infant food exposures and appetitive traits with early childhood diet quality - International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity

Dec 19, 2024 | ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com | Tonja R Nansel |Leah M Lipsky |Kyle S Burger |Grace E. Shearrer |Anna Maria Siega-Riz |Yong Ma | +1 more

Data are from the Pregnancy Eating Attributes Study (PEAS) and Sprouts follow-up study, a prospective observational cohort followed from the first trimester of pregnancy through the offspring’s early childhood [38]. PEAS participants were recruited from two university-based obstetrics clinics in Chapel Hill, North Carolina from November 2014 through October 2016.

Physical activity and mental health: a systematic review and best-evidence synthesis of mediation and moderation studies - International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity

Nov 28, 2024 | ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com | Western Sydney

Despite an increasing number of studies demonstrating positive effects of PA on mental health, the underlying mechanisms responsible for mental health benefits have still not been well established. Variables that influence the strength and direction of the relationship have also not been well understood. By systematically combining results from many studies, we now have more conclusive evidence of 27 different mediators, 12 with strong evidence and 15 with moderate evidence.
Health effects of children’s summer holiday programs: a systematic review and meta-analysis - International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity

Oct 18, 2024 | ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com | Bedford Park

A systematic review protocol was informed by the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews [24] and prospectively registered with PROSPERO (Registration number: CRD42023409795) [25]. Reporting follows the PRISMA 2020 guidelines [26]. The PICO framework shaped our inclusion criteria. We included summer programs targeting school-aged children (5–18 years) that aimed to influence health behaviours and related outcomes, such as physical activity, diet, and weight.
Do personality profiles contribute to patterns of physical activity and sedentary behavior in adulthood? A prospective cohort study - International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity

Sep 26, 2024 | ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com | Glasgow Caledonian

Five personality profiles were identified (BIC = 6513.5; AIC = 6051.4). Although the six- and seven-profile solutions had better goodness-of-fit indices (6 classes: BIC = 6493.4, AIC = 5953.0; 7 classes: BIC = 6485.2, AIC = 5866.5) than the five-profile solution, the five-profile solution was chosen because of small improvements in fit indices, relatively high classification certainty (ranging from 0.85 to 0.91), and meaningfulness of the profiles.
Sex-specific chrono-nutritional patterns and association with body weight in a general population in Spain (GCAT study) - International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity

Sep 13, 2024 | ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com | de Cid |Universitat Pompeu Fabra |L’Hospitalet del Llobregat |L’Hospitalet de Llobregat

In this population-based cohort of adults in Catalonia, a later time of first meal, more daily eating occasions, and a later sleep time were cross-sectionally related to a higher BMI, while a longer nighttime fasting duration was related to a lower BMI. Among women, these results were mostly evident in premenopausal women. In longitudinal analyses, a later time of first meal and a shorter nighttime fasting duration were associated with a higher subsequent BMI.
Experience Sampling as a dietary assessment method: a scoping review towards implementation - International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity

Aug 28, 2024 | ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com | KU Leuven |hospitals Leuven

This review reveals that ESM has been applied to assess dietary intake in various research settings using different design approaches. However, most studies assessed consumption of specific foods only focusing on the foods of interest related to the research question. Especially snack consumption and, in general, unhealthy foods were the foods of interest for which ESM was used most often to measure its consumption.
