We evaluated 1,321 adolescents (55.2% female) aged 10\u201316 years. Relative body fat (%fat) by measurement of triceps and subscapular skinfold thickness and waist circumference (WC) were used as total and central adiposity indicators, respectively. Physical inactivity, time spent in front of the TV, the consumption of soda and\/or chocolate, alcohol, and tobacco smoking were analyzed as risk behaviors. Information about the socioeconomic status (categorized into three levels) and nutritional status of the mother (overweight or normal weight) were used as adjustment factors in the analyses of prevalence ratio (PR) of the outcomes and their associated 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). The chi-square test and Poisson regression were used for statistical analyses. Low associations were found between risk behaviors and adiposity indicators. Tobacco smoking was the most positively correlated behavior with adiposity in girls (%fat: PR = 1.61; 95% CI = 1.04\u20132.47; WC: PR = 1.90; 95% CI = 1.17\u20133.08) and in adolescents whose mothers were normal weight (%fat: PR = 2.31; 95% CI = 1.33\u20134.03; WC: PR: 2.31; CI: 1.19\u20134.46). Additionally, as an important methodological issue, we highlighted the assessment of risk behaviors in adolescents as crucial to producing more robust evidence on the subject. Of the investigated behaviors, we concluded that tobacco smoking is the behavior most associated with adiposity indicators.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1367493515598642","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,26]],"date-time":"2015-08-26T21:30:12Z","timestamp":1440624612000},"page":"314-323","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Association between risk behaviors and adiposity indicators in adolescents from Southern Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Danilo RP","family":"Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Study and Research Group in Metabolism, Nutrition, and Exercise (GEPEMENE), State University of Londrina (UEL), Londrina, Brazil"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Ohara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Study and Research Group in Metabolism, Nutrition, and Exercise (GEPEMENE), State University of Londrina (UEL), Londrina, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Crisieli M","family":"Tomeleri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Study and Research Group in Metabolism, Nutrition, and Exercise (GEPEMENE), State University of Londrina (UEL), Londrina, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Mariana B","family":"Batista","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Study and Research Group in Metabolism, Nutrition, and Exercise (GEPEMENE), State University of Londrina (UEL), Londrina, Brazil"}]},{"given":"R\u00f4mulo A","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Research Group Related to Physical Activity (GICRAF), Laboratory of Investigation in Exercise (LIVE), Department of Physical Education, State University of S\u00e3o Paulo (UNESP), Presidente Prudente, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Enio RV","family":"Ronque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Study and Research Group in Metabolism, Nutrition, and Exercise (GEPEMENE), State University of Londrina (UEL), Londrina, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Lu\u00eds B","family":"Sardinha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Exercise and Health Laboratory, Faculty of Human Kinetics, University of Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Edilson S","family":"Cyrino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Study and Research Group in Metabolism, Nutrition, and Exercise (GEPEMENE), State University of Londrina (UEL), Londrina, Brazil"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1367493515598642","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ijo.2012.127"},{"key":"bibr2-1367493515598642","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2012.08.012"},{"key":"bibr3-1367493515598642","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/36.5.936"},{"key":"bibr4-1367493515598642","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2007-2329C"},{"key":"bibr5-1367493515598642","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2288-3-21"},{"key":"bibr6-1367493515598642","first-page":"17","volume":"17","author":"Boileau R","year":"1985","journal-title":"Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports"},{"key":"bibr7-1367493515598642","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.physbeh.2012.05.022"},{"key":"bibr8-1367493515598642","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/0103-0582201432315"},{"key":"bibr9-1367493515598642","unstructured":"Brazilian Association of Research Companies (BARC) (2008) Brazil economic classification criterion 2008.
