Cross-sectional associations between overweight, eating behavior, and physical activity in children and adolescents: differences depending on socio-economic status.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study assesses associations between eating behavior and physical activity (PA) and overweight/obesity in children and adolescents, focusing on differences depending on familial socio-economic status (SES).
methodsData were collected within a school-based study. The sample comprised 661 8- to 15-year-old children and adolescents from families with either low (n = 77), medium (n = 367), or high (n = 217) SES. Overweight, including obesity, was defined as a Body Mass Index (BMI) standard deviation score above the 90th percentile. Eating behavior was assessed using the parent-version of the Composition and Culture of Eating Questionnaire (CoCu). Regarding PA, we compared children performing versus not performing any PA in their leisure time. Logistic regression analyses were applied to assess associations between overweight and healthiness of diet, culture of eating (media use while eating and snacking between meals), and leisure PA. All associations were checked for interactions with SES.
resultsThe prevalence of overweight was 22% in low SES families, 14% in medium SES families, and 6% in high SES families. Overweight was significantly associated with a less healthy diet, but this association was only shown in children from families with medium SES. Media use while eating and snacking between meals were more frequent in children with overweight, while PA was less frequent. Family SES did not moderate the strengths of these associations.
conclusionsUnhealthier diet and eating habits as well as less PA are associated with overweight in children and adolescents. However, associations with healthy diets were not observed in families with low or high SES, suggesting that other factors may play a greater role in these groups.
