Background Increasing rates of childhood obesity worldwide are a serious threat to the health of school-aged children. Unhealthy behavioral habits are modifiable factors in the control of childhood obesity, and personal and family factors are key influencing factors of behavioral habits in school-aged children. This study assessed the relationship between overweight/obesity, energy balance-related behaviors (EBRB), and their influencing factors in school-aged children. Methods This cross-sectional survey included 4412 primary school-aged (10–12 years) students who underwent body tests and were selected through stratified sampling in the Northeast, North, Northwest, and Southwest regions of China from March to July 2021. Independent sample t test was used to compare differences between behaviors and influencing factors of energy balance among overweight/obesity and normal weight students. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the influence of EBRB on body shape. Multiple linear regression was used to assess the influence of personal and family factors on EBRB effects. Results Compared with normal-weight students, number of breakfasts consumed per week by overweight/obese students was significantly lower (p < 0.01), and weekly screen-viewing time was significantly longer (p < 0.01). Overweight/obese students’ health beliefs, parental subjective norms, parental modelling, parental practices, and home availability scores increased significantly in terms of beverage consumption behavior (p < 0.01 or p < 0.05). Attitude, health beliefs, self-efficacy, parental subjective norms, and parental support scores decreased significantly in terms of breakfast consumption (p < 0.01 or p < 0.05). Health belief scores on physical activity increased significantly (p < 0.01), while preference and autonomy scores decreased significantly (p < 0.01). Health beliefs, parental subjective norms, and parental practices scores of screen-viewing activities increased significantly (p < 0.01 or p < 0.05). Breakfast consumption (odds ratio [OR]: 0.911; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.870–0.954) and screen-viewing activities (OR:1.055; 95% CI: 1.030–1.080) correlated negatively and positively with overweight/obesity, respectively. The main influencing factors of breakfast behavior in overweight/obese students were self-efficacy (0.14), preference (0.11), attitude (0.07), home availability (0.18), and parent modelling (0.09); those for screen-viewing behavior were preference (0.19), self-efficacy (− 0.15), parental practices (0.13), and parental subjective norm (0.12). Conclusions Irregular breakfast consumption and excessive screen-viewing time are key EBRB associated with overweight/obesity among these Chinese participants. Their unhealthy breakfast consumption and screen-viewing activities result from a combination of personal and family factors.

Objective This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of overweight/obesity and the factors influencing these conditions among 9- to 18-year-old adolescents in Keerqin District of Tongliao City. We explored whether overweight/obesity is accompanied by differences in eating habits, lifestyle, and mental health. Methods A cross-sectional survey was administered to 1,736 adolescents in November 2020. A physical examination was performed for each participant, and an online questionnaire was adopted to collect information. The association of several risk factors with overweight/obesity was explored using a logistic regression model. Results The prevalence of overweight/obesity in the study population was 43.32%. The risk of overweight/obesity was higher among nonresident students (odds ratio [OR] = 1.564, 95% CI = 1.182–2.069) who had an average of 3–4 (OR = 2.164, 95% CI = 1.087–4.308) or 5 or more (OR = 2.114, 95% CI = 1.376–3.248) PE classes per week. The risk of overweight/obesity was lower among girls (OR = 0.485, 95% CI = 0.396–0.593), students aged 15–16 years (OR = 0.288, 95% CI = 0.135–0.617) and those aged 17–18 years (OR = 0.282, 95% CI = 0.124–0.639), students who ate sweets more than once a week (OR = 0.570, 95% CI = 0.366–0.887), students who spent less than 1 hour per day on the computer each week (OR = 0.776, 95% CI = 0.620–0.971), students with depressive symptoms (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [CES-D] score ≥ 16) (Model 2: OR = 0.618, 95% CI = 0.385–0.990; Model 3: OR = 0.623, 95% CI = 0.388–1.000), and students with depressed affect (Model 2: OR = 0.921, 95% CI = 0.877–0.967; Model 3: OR = 0.929, 95% CI = 0.885–0.976). Conclusion Overweight/obesity was influenced by eating habits and lifestyle factors. In addition, overweight/obesity adolescents had a lower risk of depressed than those with normal weight.
