Abstract

Objective: The aim was to assess associations between lifestyle behaviors and obesity in a multinational study of children from 12 countries representing a wide range of human development. Methods: The sample included 6,025 children 9–11 years of age. Behavioral risk factors included nocturnal sleep duration, moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), television viewing (TV time), and healthy and unhealthy diet pattern scores. Multilevel analyses were used to obtain odds ratios for obesity expressed per standard deviation of each behavioral risk factor. Results: The odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for obesity from multilevel, multivariable models were 0.79 (0.71–0.90) for nocturnal sleep duration, 0.52 (0.45–0.60) for MVPA, 1.15 (1.05–1.27) for TV time, 1.08 (0.96–1.20) for healthy diet score, and 0.93 (0.83–1.04) for unhealthy diet score in boys and 0.71 (0.63–0.80) for nocturnal sleep duration, 0.43 (0.35–0.53) for MVPA, 1.07 (0.96–1.19) for TV time, 1.05 (0.93–1.19) for healthy diet score, and 0.96 (0.82–1.11) for unhealthy diet score in girls. Conclusions: Behavioral risk factors are important correlates of obesity in children, particularly low MVPA, short sleep duration, and high TV viewing.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
