"Health and Academic Achievement" ed. by Blandina Bernal-Morales

This book is a compilation of current scientific information about the challenges that students, families and teachers face regarding health and academic achievements. This book will be of interest to readers from broad professional fields, non-specialist readers, and those involved in education policy.



Emotional, physical and social well-being describe human health from birth. Good health goes hand in hand with the ability to handle stress for the future. However, biological factors such as diet, life experiences such as drug abuse, bullying, burnout and social factors such as family and community support at the school stage tend to mold health problems, affecting academic achievements. Contributions relate to how physical activity, psychosocial support and other interventions can be made to understand resilience and vulnerability to school desertion.
