ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This study evaluated the association between lifestyle-related behavior patterns and weight status indicators in schoolchildren.METHODS:
Cross-sectional study includes nationally representative sample of Portuguese school children (69yearsold;n= 10,258). Weight status was assessed using the body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Principal component analysis was used to identify lifestyle-related behavior patterns. Multiple linear regression models were used to estimate the association between behavior patterns, BMI, and WC.RESULTS:
Six lifestyle-related behavior patterns were identified pattern 1 consuming iced tea and soft drinks≥2 times/week, having a television (TV) in the bedroom, watching TV≥2 h/day, and consuming <2 portions of fruits/day; pattern 2 parents and children remaining physically inactive during leisure time; pattern 3 consuming≤1 portion of vegetables and milk/day; pattern 4 having parents with excess weight; pattern 5 consuming≤3daily meals and skipping breakfast; and pattern 6 not participating in physical education classes. After the adjustment, all of the patterns were associated with increased BMIz-score (P≤0.02) and WC (P≤0.03).CONCLUSIONS:
Lifestyle-related behavior patterns were associated with an increased risk of excess weight and the central distribution of body fat. Taking a public health perspective toward preventing childhood obesity, special attention should be given to identify subgroups with simultaneous occurrence of multiple risk behaviors, which is useful for planning prevention programs.Palabras clave
