Abstract:
Research focused on health behaviors of online graduate students is sparse. Health psychology graduate training prepares individuals to share health information with others; the information may be more credible if they present a healthy appearance. The present study tested concepts from social cognitive theory (general perceived self-efficacy) and self-determination theory (autonomy, competence, and relatedness basic needs) to determine predictive value for graduate students’ engaging in health behaviors.

Type 2 diabetes is the fastest growing health threat to the UK, with prevalence rising 60% over the past decade. Those with Type 2 diabetes carry twice the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, a condition which claims the lives of the majority of adults in the UK. A significant proportion of cardio-metabolic disease could be prevented through improvements in lifestyle. Technological advancements, motorised transport and an increase in desk based work, have paved the way for physical inactivity to be norm in modern society.

Abstract:
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the US. Although many risk factors for breast cancer are known, few are modifiable and little is known about ways to prevent its incidence. Early-life body size is inversely associated with both premenopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer risk, suggesting an excess risk in lean girls. In a prospective analysis within the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) II, Chapter 1 examines whether adolescent physical activity mitigates the excess risk of breast cancer associated with early-life body leanness

Mental toughness (MT) originated within elite sport and was identified as an attribute of success. MT has emerged as being important for enhancing health-related lifestyle factors (HRLF; e.g., physical activity). Investigating the healthiness of one’s lifestyle appears a timely area to research given the current health status of the population. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to investigate MT in relation to HRLF and weight loss. Study One investigated MT and HRLF in university students (n = 167).

Ballet dancing is a rigorous activity, the requisite skill acquisition for which begins at an early age. For girls, the activity requires a clearly defined body shape and composition, the attainment of which may result in low body weight and BNH, the development of eating disorders, menstrual dysfunction, and poor nutrient intake. The combination of the high levels of exercise for both sexes and the sylph-like figure required by females may have an effect upon growth and development, injury and repair, and long-term health.

BACKGROUND. Unhealthy lifestyle behaviours such as physical inactivity are global risk factors for chronic disease. Despite this, a substantial proportion of the UK population fail to achieve the recommended levels of physical activity. This may partly be because the health messages presently disseminated are not sufficiently potent to evoke behaviour change. There has been an exponential growth in the availability of digital health technologies within the consumer marketplace.

Lifestyle medicine is the use of lifestyle interventions in the prevention, treatment and management of disease.

Research shows that Adventists are much healthier and live significantly longer than the general population.

Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of almost all eukaryotic cells. Their main functions include energy metabolism, free radical production, calcium homeostasis and apoptosis. Located closely to the source of reactive oxidative stress (ROS) production, Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is extremely susceptible to oxidative damage due to its absence of protective histones, the lack of introns and a scarcity of the efficient DNA repair mechanisms. Associations between leukocyte mtDNA copy number (mtCN) and various oxidative stress related health outcomes have been demonstr
