BMI was calculated using anthropometric measurements, and weight status was classified according to the 2007 WHO growth reference. Socio-economic status was determined through parental education, occupation and household income, while lifestyle behaviours were assessed via validated questionnaires. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted, adjusting for sex, grade and socio-economic variables. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 19\u00b74 % and 10\u00b77 %, respectively. Girls had a higher obesity prevalence than boys (12\u00b73 %\n                    <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic>\n                    . 8\u00b79 %), whereas boys showed a higher combined prevalence of overweight and obesity. Among boys, obesity was significantly associated with urban residence (adjusted OR (aOR) 1\u00b737; 95 % CI 1\u00b713, 1\u00b783), being an only child (aOR 2\u00b774; 95 % CI 1\u00b792, 3\u00b792), frequent fast-food consumption (\u2265 3 times\/week; aOR 1\u00b756; 95 % CI 1\u00b723, 1\u00b797) and lower parental education (aOR 1\u00b722; 95 % CI 1\u00b705, 1\u00b741). Among girls, long weekend sleep duration increased obesity risk (aOR 1\u00b738; 95 % CI 1\u00b714, 1\u00b767), while being an only child (aOR 0\u00b736; 95 % CI 0\u00b725, 0\u00b752), frequent fast-food consumption (aOR 0\u00b764; 95 % CI 0\u00b750, 0\u00b780) and lower parental education (aOR 0\u00b781; 95 % CI 0\u00b770, 0\u00b794) were linked to lower odds. Physical activity and soft drink intake were not significant after adjustment. These findings underscore complex, gender-specific relationships between lifestyle and socio-economic factors, highlighting the need for targeted interventions promoting healthy sleep, nutrition and equity-focused strategies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007114526107715","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,5]],"date-time":"2026-06-05T07:05:08Z","timestamp":1780643108000},"page":"986-999","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Association of lifestyle behaviours and socio-economic disparities with overweight and obesity among school-aged children and adolescents: a population-based cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"136","author":[{"given":"Moazzam","family":"Tanveer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0056pyw12","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Shanghai University of Sport"},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02a37xs76","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Health Services Academy"},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02a37xs76","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Health Services Academy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed Othman","family":"Alsabih","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"King Saud University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yujun","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0056pyw12","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Shanghai University of Sport"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashwag Saleh","family":"Alsharidah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Qassim University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Georgian","family":"Badicu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transilvania University of Brasov"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ejaz","family":"Asghar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02a37xs76","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Health Services Academy"},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02a37xs76","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Health Services Academy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Umar","family":"Tanveer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Lahore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadeem","family":"Roy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanxi University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Najla A.","family":"Albaridi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Princess Noura bint Abdulrahman University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zayed D.","family":"Alsharari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tabuk"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ariana","family":"Saraiva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lus\u00f3fona University"},{"name":"Lus\u00f3fona University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5286-2249","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Raposo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05xxfer42","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Lus\u00f3fona University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0007114526107715_ref25","unstructured":"25.
