This study aimed to analyze the relationships between BMI, dietary habits, subjective health perception, and body image perception among Korean adolescents using data from the 18th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey conducted in 2022 to explore strategies for reducing adolescent obesity rates.

Methods: Data from 50,427 participants were analyzed, including BMI, seven lifestyle factors (intake frequencies of water, milk, fruit, soft drinks, vegetables, breakfast, and late-night snacks), and responses to one item each for subjective health perception and body image perception.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the role of non-bodily objects, like nesting material, in the mating displays of estrildid finches, focusing on whether these actions serve a signaling function or are merely ritualistic.
  • Captive and wild finches were found to prefer longer strings during courtship, suggesting that these displays may indicate an individual's ability to gather and transport such materials.
  • The approach to using nesting material in displays likely evolved due to high predation risks and the cooperative nesting habits of mating pairs in estrildid finches.

Background/objectives: This study explores the characteristics of the early mother-infant relationship in a sample of 30 mother-preterm infant dyads between 6 and 9 months, using a phenomenological observational tool called "Dance Steps". This tool examines the configuration and reciprocity of mother-infant interactions. The study also investigates how sociodemographic factors and maternal functioning variables, such as postnatal depression and perceived social support, may serve as risk or protective factors in the development of these interaction "Steps".
