¹ Weight status according to BMI (kg/m²) categories; Underweight <18.5 kg/m², Healthy weight 18.5–24.99 kg/m², Overweight 25–29.99 kg/m², Obesity >30 kg/m². ² Linear regression analysis adjusted for child physical activity and sedentary behavior and parent-proxy sex. ³ Model fit statistics were appropriate for both weekday (F(16, 1523) = 17.971, p < 0.001; R square 0.159) and weekend (F(16, 760) = 8.013, p < 0.001; R square 0.144) models.
