What this study is about

The goal of this observational and interventional study is to understand whether environmental and behavioral interventions can improve physical activity and health outcomes in children aged 12-16 years attending VDU Atžalynas Progymnasium, Lithuania. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does higher physical activity and improved lifestyle reduce health disparities among children living in disadvantaged social and economic conditions? 2. What is the relationship between environmental pollution, physical activity, and children's health indicators? Researchers will compare data from the cross-sectional group (baseline measurements only) and the intervention group (7-day activity tracking and follow-up after 3 months) to see if targeted environmental interventions improve children's physical activity, sleep quality, and health outcomes. Participants will: * Fill in questionnaires about health behaviors, well-being, and living environment (children and parents). * Undergo physical measurements (blood pressure, height, weight, body composition). * Wear a smart wristband for 7 days to monitor activity, sleep, and heart rate (only for selected participants). * Attend a follow-up visit after 3 months (intervention group only).

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Full registry criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Children aged 12-16 years * Attending VDU Atžalynas Progymnasium (Kaunas, Lithuania) * Written informed consent from parents/legal guardians and assent from the child * Willingness to participate in questionnaires, physical measurements, and (if selected) wearable device monitoring Exclusion Criteria: * Younger than 12 or older than 16 years * No signed informed consent from parents/legal guardians or refusal by the child * Medical or psychological conditions that may interfere with participation (e.g., severe cardiovascular disease, mobility impairments, skin allergies preventing wearable use)

Primary outcomes

Change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in children aged 12-16 yearsBaseline (Day 0) and 3 months after intervention

This outcome assesses changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (measured in mmHg) in participating children. Blood pressure will be measured using calibrated, CE-certified devices to evaluate the effect of increased physical activity and improved environmental conditions on cardiovascular health.

Change in body composition indicators in children aged 12-16 yearsBaseline (Day 0) and 3 months after intervention

This outcome includes changes in body mass index (BMI), fat mass percentage, weight (kg), and height (m). Measurements will be collected using validated, CE-certified body composition analyzers to assess improvements in physical health related to the intervention.
