TI  - Child overweight in France and its relationship with physical activity, sedentary 
      behaviour and socioeconomic status.
PG  - 509-16
AB  - OBJECTIVE: (1) To assess the prevalence of childhood overweight (OW) and obesity 
      in France; (2) to examine how physical activity and sedentary behaviour are 
      involved in the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and OW, while 
      taking into account total energy intake. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: Representative 
      sample of French children aged 3-14 years (n=1016) taken from the 1998-1999 
      cross-sectional French INCA (Enquete Individuelle et Nationale sur les 
      Consommations Alimentaires) food consumption survey. MEASUREMENTS: Weight and 
      height, leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), sedentary behaviour (TV viewing 
      and video-game use), and SES were reported by parents or children by answering 
      questionnaires; total energy intake was assessed using a 7-day food record. 
      RESULTS: In total, 15.2% (95% CI: 13.0-17.6) of the children are OW (including 
      obese), according to the IOTF (International Obesity Task Force) definition. OW 
      is inversely associated with SES in children over 6 years of age. LTPA is 
      negatively correlated to OW among the 3 to 5-year-old children only, whereas 
      sedentary behaviour is positively related to OW in childhood and adolescence. 
      From 6 years old on, SES is inversely associated with sedentary behaviour, which 
      consequently may partly mediate the relationship between SES and OW. CONCLUSION: 
      This study confirms the association between SES, sedentary behaviour and 
      childhood OW in France. It was performed before the launching of the French 
      Program of Nutrition and Health (PNNS) in 2001 and will be repeated in 2006. This 
      will contribute to monitoring both childhood OW and its main determinants at the 
      population scale.
