Excessive television watching, restaurant eating, and minimum physical activity have all been identified as factors affecting healthy weight in children, but few studies have explored these obesogenic behaviors in low-income, mostly Hispanic populations. Furthermore, these behaviors may operate to cumulatively influence children’s obesity. We used linear and logistic regression to explore the relation between each obesogenic behavior and body mass index (BMI) in a population of low-income, mostly Hispanic fifth grade children participating in the Texas Childhood Obesity Research Demonstration (TX CORD) child survey. We used two different measures of BMI: z-score and weight status. We also investigated the cumulative effect of these three ob...
