Multiple health risk behaviors and mental health from a life course perspective: The Dutch TRAILS study

Highlights

  • A life-course study based on a large cohort of 2,229 adolescents
  • Adolescents with similar MHRB patterns can reach adulthood with different levels of changes in mental health problems
  • Mental health problems at age 11 were a predictor of mental health at age 23, with MHRBs explaining only a small part
  • A continuity of obesity-related MHRBs throughout adolescence was associated with changes in mental health.
