BMI indicates Body Mass Index. Child energy intake derived from Nutrition Data Systems for Research.

Note: multivariate logistic regression was used to examine associations between sociodemographic characteristics, household factors, family behavior patterns and children’s adherence to dietary and physical activity guidelines.
