Background:

Physical activity and eating habits are crucial for school-aged children's health.
Understanding the relationship between lifestyle factors and socio-demographic variables in Indian children is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the prevalence of physical activity among Indian school children.
To examine the association between physical activity, socio-demographic factors, and dietary habits.

Main Methods:

Secondary analysis of data from 1,680 school children (ages 3-11) from the OBEY-AD project.
Utilized questionnaires assessing physical activity, lifestyle, and eating habits of children and parents.
Included anthropometric measurements and lifestyle inventories with varied question formats.

Main Results:

The prevalence of physical inactivity was 21%, with significant urban-rural variations.
Physical activity showed a significant association with socio-economic status and fruit/vegetable consumption.
No significant correlation was found between physical activity levels and children's Body Mass Index (BMI).

Conclusions:

Health promotion initiatives should prioritize children from lower socio-economic strata.
Interventions should aim to improve healthy lifestyles, focusing on physical activity and diet.
Targeted strategies are needed to address physical inactivity in vulnerable Indian child populations.
