Study from SP 2 published
The Body Mass Index (BMI) of preschool children seems to be related to determinants at the micro and meso level!

Scope Review from SP4 published
The own and the family’s socio-economic position (SEP) plays a considerable role in health and health-related behaviour of young adults in school-to-work and school-to-university transition (STWT)!
Several studies analyzed that higher family SEP is associated with higher levels of health-promoting behaviour, while young adults with lower family SEP tend to health-damaging behaviour. Read the new Scoping Review to get more information about factors influencing health inequalities of young adults in STWT (open access): https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/12/7/e058273.

A worse family climate, well-being and health behaviour of parents influence the subjective health of adolescents negatively!

The results can be seen in detail in the latest publication of SP1. Now available at Plos One: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0266463.
