Below is a brief summary of the dissertation:
A healthy lifestyle is essential for optimal growth, development and overall health of young children (1‐3 years), whereas an unhealthy lifestyle at an early age may lead to negative health outcomes, such as being overweight or underweight. Evaluating, discussing and advising on young children’s lifestyles by healthcare professionals may contribute to modify unhealthy behaviours in time to prevent adverse health effects. To support youth healthcare in this, the aim of the studies in this thesis was to develop and evaluate a new lifestyle screening tool for children aged 1‐3 years.
