Hyperleptinaemia defined according to the cut-offs published by Köster-Weber et al.

Overweight: BMI z-score >1 and ≥2 SD; obesity: BMI z-score ≥2 SD.

IR: HOMA-IR 2.6.

Unhealthy diet: diet high in simple carbohydrates and saturated fats.

Physically inactive: scheduled PA≤90 min/week.

Adult HS: education for students who in the past were unable to receive their diploma.

BMI, body mass index; GPA, grade point average; HOMA, homeostasis model assessment of IR; HS, high school; IR, insulin resistance; PA, physical activity.
