This CoMoSur study aimed to determine the prevalence of MC in fifth- and sixth-grade primary school children in central-southern Chile and analyze the association of MC with sex, age, and weight status.\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    The MC of 1513 schoolchildren (49.4% girls; mean\u2009=\u200911.12\u00a0y, SD\u2009=\u20090.92) from 7 regions of central-southern Chile was assessed using the MOBAK 5-6 test. Confirmatory factor analyses and structural equation models were applied to test 2 models: (1) the factorial validity of the 2 dimensions of MC (object control and self-movement) and (2) the associations of MC with sex, age, and weight status.\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    Low levels of MC were observed, especially in girls.
