Objective.其目的是研究社会经济地位（SES），体重状况和性别之间的关联，与儿童参与久坐行为和运动。方法.儿童（9-10岁; n = 6 337）完成了一份问卷调查，以确定他们在工作日和周末的久坐行为和运动参与时间。测量身高和体重，计算体重指数。使用分层对数线性分析研究因变量和自变量之间的关联。结果在SES最高的四分位数中，男孩在工作日和周末花在看电视（P < 0.001）、玩电子游戏（P < 0.001）和参加体育运动（P = 1小时）的比例显著高于女孩（P < 0.001）。超重的女孩比正常体重的女孩更有可能在每个周末使用互联网>= 1小时（p < 0.001）。结论.相对而言，SES较低的儿童在久坐行为上花费的时间多于运动参与。体重状况与久坐行为并不一致。看电视、玩电子游戏和参加体育运动的男孩比女孩多，这表明男孩有时间久坐不动和进行体育活动。应努力解决所有儿童在久坐行为和体育参与方面的不平等现象，无论其社会经济地位、体重状况或性别如何。
Objective. The objective was to study associations between socioeconomic status (SES), weight status, and sex, with children's participation in sedentary behaviours and sport. Methods. Children (aged 9-10 years; n = 6 337) completed a questionnaire to establish how long they spent in sedentary behaviours and sport participation during week days and weekend days. Height and weight were measured to calculate body mass index. Associations between dependent and independent variables were investigated using hierarchical loglinear analysis. Results. A significantly greater proportion of boys than girls spent h per weekday and weekend day watching television (TV) (p < 0.001), playing video games (p < 0.001), and participating in sport (p = 1 h were in the highest SES quartile (p < 0.001). Overweight girls were more likely than normal weight girls to use the internet for >= 1 h per weekend day (p < 0.001). Conclusions. Relatively more lower SES children spent time in sedentary behaviours than sport participation. Weight status was not consistently associated with sedentary behaviours. Proportionately more boys than girls watched TV, played video games, and participated in sport, suggesting that boys find time for sedentary behaviours and physical activity. Efforts should be made to address inequalities in the prevalence of sedentary behaviours and sport participation for all children regardless of SES, weight status, or sex.
