Background:
it is important to clearly understand the factors associated with subjective health complaints. the study aimed to investigate the relationship between subjective health complaints, several health behaviors, and a composite measure of healthy lifestyle.
Methods:
data were from the health behaviour in school-aged children (hbsc) 2014 international database. participants were 167,021 children and adolescents, aged 10-16 years, from 37 countries and regions. a composite score of healthy lifestyle was created using a combination of daily physical activity, daily consumption of fruit and vegetables, <2 hours spent daily in screen-based behaviors, no drinking, and no smoking. the subjective health complaints assessed were headaches, stomach aches, backache, dizziness, feeling low, irritability, nervousness, and sleep difficulties.
Results:
those who engage in physical activity every day, spend less than two hours a day in screen-based behaviors, do not drink alcohol, and do not smoke tobacco presented a higher likelihood of not having subjective health complaints. a healthy lifestyle was significantly related to having less of all the subjective health complaints. those with a healthy lifestyle were 50% (or = 0.5, 95% ci: 0.5-0.6, p < 0.001) less likely to have multiple health complaints.
Conclusions:
healthy behaviors and healthy lifestyles are related with less subjective health complaints and less multiple health complaints.
