Cross-sectional and prospective associations between behavioural patterns and adiposity in school-aged children

CONCLUSION: Three non-identical patterns were identified at 6-8 and 9-11 years. The individual behaviours that characterised patterns (dominant behaviours) at both ages are possible drivers of the patterns obtained and could explain the lack of associations with adiposity. Identifying individual behaviour pattern drivers and strategic intervention are key to maintain and prevent the decline of healthy patterns.PMID:37271724 | DOI:10.1017/S136898002300112X
