“…Two other surveys, conducted in 2017 and 2018 in Constantine among children and adolescents aged 6-18 years, showed a prevalence of overweight and obesity in girls and boys together of 13.7 and 3.0 %, respectively 21,22 . In 2021, a recent study in Bejaia found a prevalence of overweight and obesity to be 3.3 % among adolescents of 11 to 23 years old 23 . The objective of the present study was to describe the behavior, eating habits, and lifestyle of schoolchildren from different regions of Bejaia (Algeria), as well as to evaluate their food consumption and their Physical Activity Level (PAL).…”

Aim: This study aimed to describe the behavior, eating habits, and lifestyle of schoolchildren from different regions of Bejaia, and to evaluate their food consumption on the one hand and their Physical Activity Level (PAL) on the other hand. Methods: This study involved children (n = 240, B/G = 120/120), aged from 6 to 12, that are enrolled in different institutions (primary schools, colleges) in different regions of Bejaia. The children's body weight and height were measured (BMI), and their eating habits and level of physical activity were assessed using adapted questionnaires. Food consumption was estimated by the 24-hour recall method. Results: Results showed observable BMI rise including drastic changes in BMI Z-score as a function of age, height and mainly weight, BMI Z-score values were between 0 and +2 in overweight for obese girls and boys and less than +1 for normal-weight girls and boys. The PAL evaluation was low in overweight and obese children compared to normal-weight children. The correlation test showed a positive correlation between BMI and PAL in both sexes. According to the results of the dietary habits, the frequency of consumption of the different food groups distributed according to the fourth daily intakes (breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacking between meals) was very rich in carbohydrates and fats in overweight and obese children, compared to normal-weight children and according to the recommended threshold. Conclusion: This study shows that there is an increase in BMI values, high BMI Z-scores in overweight and obese children compared to normal-weight children. Children have bad eating habits (snacking between meals, consumption of fast food and sugary drinks). These habits may act as obesity promoting factors when associated with sedentary activities. Keywords: Children, overweight-obesity, normal-weight, BMI, Physical Activity Level, food habits, food consumption.

ObjectiveOverweight and obesity among adolescents are grave public health issues around the world. Although the conditions that contribute to obesity have been extensively researched, little is known about how multiple conditions interact to cause overweight and obesity. The current study intends to investigate the histomorphic configuration pathways of several conditions of adolescent overweight and obesity by gender.MethodThe data came from a social survey conducted in June 2021 in Changchun, Jilin Province, China. The sample collected was 14‐year‐old adolescents, including 167 boys and 137 girls. The school physicians examined the participants' weight and height, and questionnaires were used to collect risk indicators from adolescents, such as sleep duration, electronic screens times, consumption of sugary drinks and fried foods, and physical activity. Simultaneously, a Fuzzy Qualitative Comparative Analysis will be performed to investigate the combinations of diverse conditions.ResultWe found that there is no determining necessary condition that, once present, directly determines that an individual is in a state of overweight and obesity. Simultaneously, this study revealed nine alternative configurational paths of overweight and obesity in teenagers of different genders, with a concordance of 0.805 for six male groupings and 0.916 for three female groupings. The outcomes of overweight obesity in adolescents under different genders are similar but not identical.ConclusionThis study examined the interactions of a number of conditions from the individual, behavioral, learning and living environment that led to the same overweight obese outcome among adolescents of different genders. Our research will be useful to policymakers in that interventions should take into account the combined effects of a number of different aspects rather than focusing on a single factor that causes overweight and obesity.
