Abstract
Background: Previous research has indicated that high sedentary behavior (SB) is associated with ill health including weight gain independent of physical activity (PA). The purpose of this analysis was to examine the combined influence of screen time (SB) and PA on risk of overweight/obesity (OW/Ob) in a large nationally representative cohort of 9 year old Irish school children, with particular reference to the risks of high screen time in the most active of these children. A further aim of the analysis was to examine the correlates of high screen time in this cohort.
