The article advocates for the Mediterranean Lifestyle Pyramid as a comprehensive, evidence-based framework to improve the health of children and adolescents. By integrating balanced nutrition, physical activity, sleep, social connections, and environmental sustainability, the pyramid addresses both individual well-being and broader ecological concerns.

The pyramid is recommended for use by families, educators, and policymakers to foster lifelong healthy behaviors and support planetary health.

International Women's Day is an annual celebration on March 8th. This year's theme is “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment", which emphasizes the imperative for action to foster equal rights, power, and opportunities for all, paving the way for a feminist future that leaves no one behind. At the core of this vision is the empowerment of the next generation—specifically, youth, with a focus on young women and adolescent girls—who are poised to serve as catalysts for sustainable change. To raise awareness for this important topic, Elsevier presents a curated list of publicly available journal articles and book chapters to help advance #SDG3, #SDG5 and #SDG10 research. 

This scoping review identified various adaptation strategies to protect maternal and child health from climate change effects, highlighting the need for more tailored, context-specific interventions involving pregnant women and local healthcare services.

Objectives: Traditional cardiovascular risk (CVR) stratification does not consider CVR enhancers (CVRE). Women present under-recognized CVRE factors that may lead to arterial stiffness (AS). AS is associated with long-term cardiovascular disease. AS can be determined by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV). In women with low-CVR and a CVRE, our objective was to determine cf-PWV values and AS, and to compare with a control group. Material and Methods: Multicentric cross-sectional study, from 2022 to 2024 in Argentina.
