      <dc:description>Background: Little is known about the association between active commuting (i.e., walking&#xd;
or cycling to school) with lifestyle parameters and mental health in youths. The objective of the&#xd;
present study was to investigate the association between mental health problems and symptoms&#xd;
of depression, anxiety, and stress with lifestyle (i.e., food habits, screen time, physical activity, and&#xd;
sleep quality), active commuting, and gender. Methods: A total of 511 children and adolescents&#xd;
(boys, n = 249; girls, n = 262) aged 10 to 17 years participated in the study. Lifestyle parameters and&#xd;
mental health were evaluated using the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Results:&#xd;
Girls reported higher levels of anxiety (p = 0.001), depression (p = 0.001), and stress (p = 0.001). Mental&#xd;
health problems showed a positive association with gender (girls, β = 3.06, p &lt; 0.001) and a negative&#xd;
association with food habits (β = −0.65, p = 0.019). Anxiety was positively associated with gender&#xd;
(β = 7.88, p &lt; 0.001) and negatively associated with food habits (β = −0.23, p = 0.019). Gender (girls)&#xd;
and food habits were also associated with symptoms of depression (β = 2.29, p &lt; 0.001 and β = −0.27,&#xd;
p = 0.005, respectively). Finally, active commuting was inversely associated with stress (β = −1.24,&#xd;
p = 0.008), and stress was positively linked to gender (β = 2.53, p &lt; 0.001). Conclusions: Active&#xd;
commuting, lifestyle parameters, and gender were associated with mental health in children and&#xd;
adolescents. Moreover, girls reported higher levels of anxiety, symptoms of depression, and stress.</dc:description>
