Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is part of the LIFEHEALTH project and will be carried out in five Mediterranean European Union countries: Croatia, Greece, Italy, Slovenia, and Spain. The aim of this study is to assess adults' lifestyle habits and how they relate to their physical and mental health. Respondents in each country will be invited to complete an online questionnaire. The survey will ask about consumption of the Mediterranean diet, physical activity, sleep habits, stress perception, mental health, social relationships, and overall health. Each country will include about 500 participants to ensure a representative sample of adults living in Mediterranean regions.The questionnaire will be translated into local languages and participation is voluntary. Multiple linear or logistic regresion wil be used to assess relation between variables. These analyses will help identify which factors are most strongly linked to health outcomes. The results of this study will help researchers describe current lifestyle patterns in the Mediterranean population. They will also examine how different lifestyle habits are linked to physical and mental health. The findings may support public health initiatives and help plan future research to improve health and well-being.
