About

This Research Topic is the second volume. Please see the first volume at: Exploring the Interaction between Health-promoting and Health Risk Behaviours in Health

Health-related behaviors play positive or negative roles in people’s health. For instance, health risk behaviors, such as sedentary behaviors (e.g., binge-watching TV and playing computer games), the use of alcohol, tobacco, or other substances, and lack of sleep, have been found to negatively affect the physical and mental health of people. On the other hand, some studies show that health-promoting behaviors, such as physical activity and healthy dietary habits, can mitigate or reverse the negative effects of health-risk behaviors on health outcomes. In the meantime, some studies indicate that the harmful effects of some health risk behaviors may not be mitigated by health-promoting behaviors. For instance, some studies show that sedentary behaviors and physical activity are independently associated with some physical and mental health outcomes; interventions to increase physical activity with and without decreasing sedentary time lead to different health outcomes. Clearly, more research is needed to show the interaction between health-promoting behaviors and health-risk behaviors in health, which could shed light on the management of health-related behaviors.

This Research Topic aims to feature innovative research that advances our understanding related to the interaction between health-promoting and health-risk behaviors in people’s health. We welcome studies that focus on the following sub-topics:

? Observational research, systematic review, and meta-analysis examining the intercorrelation between health-promoting and health-risk behaviors in health.
? Intervention studies on how health-promoting behaviors help prevent or reduce health risk behaviors or their negative effects on health.
? Isotemporal substitution modeling studies on how to promote health by replacing harmful sedentary behaviors with physical activity or sleep.
