AB  - OBJECTIVE: To identify certain risk factors associated with childhood obesity 
      related to lifestyle; dietary patterns, physical activity, and sedentary 
      behavior. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 977 schoolchildren 
      (473 boys and 449 girls) aged 7-18 years. Children were selected randomly from 
      three main cities in Jordan: Amman, Irbid, and Mafraq by using multistage cluster 
      sampling method. Sedentary behaviors, physical activity and child eating 
      behaviors were measured by using validated questionnaires. Overweight and obesity 
      were defined by International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) criteria. RESULTS: 
      Sedentary activities increase the risk of overweight among schoolchildren by 
      2-fold [RR(Relative risk) = 2.0, 95% CI(Confidence interval) (1.1-3.6), 
      p = 0.02]. Whereas, sedentary activities for less than 3 h increased the risk of 
      overweight by 0.8-fold [RR = 0.8, 95%CI (0.6-1.3), P = 0.388], Schoolchildren who 
      spent<30 min/day in exercising decreased the risk of overweight by 0.5-fold 
      [RR = 0.5, 95% CI (0.2-1.0), P = 0.06)]. Both Students who ate one meal daily and 
      daily ate snacks from schools cafeterias had a higher tendency to be obese 
      [(RR = 1.8, 95%CI (0.5-5.9), P = 0.368], and [RR = 1.5, 95%CI (0.9-2.5), 
      P = 0.169] respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Physical activity, eating meals regularly 
      and homemade food, all together play a significant role in decreasing obesity 
      among Jordanian schoolchildren, thus a national policy that promoting active 
      living and healthy eating among schoolchildren is warranted.
