Cole's cut-off points were used to categorize BMI. Abdominal obesity was defined by a waist circumference at or above the 90th percentile, as well as a waist-to-height ratio at or above 0\u00b7500. Diet was evaluated using an FFQ, and the food group consumption was categorized using sex-specific tertiles of each food group amount. Physical activity was assessed via a self-report questionnaire. Socio-economic status was assessed referring to parental education and employment status. Data were analysed separately for girls and boys and the associations among food consumption, physical activity, socio-economic status and BMI, waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio were evaluated using logistic regression analysis, adjusting the results for potential confounders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980013001948_abs3\" sec-type=\"general\"><jats:title>Setting<\/jats:title><jats:p>Public schools in the Azorean Archipelago, Portugal.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980013001948_abs4\" sec-type=\"subjects\"><jats:title>Subjects<\/jats:title><jats:p>Adolescents (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>1209) aged 15\u201318 years.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980013001948_abs5\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>After adjustment, in boys, higher intake of ready-to-eat cereals was a negative predictor while vegetables were a positive predictor of overweight\/obesity and abdominal obesity.

Concerning girls, higher intake of sweets and pastries was a negative predictor of overweight\/obesity and abdominal obesity. Girls in tertile 2 of milk intake had lower odds of abdominal obesity than those in tertile 1.
