Our study aimed to explore the associations between parents’ sociodemographic characteristics, socioeconomic status, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, risk status for type 2 diabetes, and their children’s BMI, physical activity, and screen time. The data were sourced from the 2016 Feel4Diabetes study, involving 12,280 parents and 12,211 children aged 6–9 years (average age 8.21 years) in a cross-sectional study design. We used a logistic regression model to identify potential factors associated with children’s screen time. The results showed that mothers with tertiary education (OR = 0.64; 95%CI = 0.49–0.82; p < 0.001), the middle age group (45–54 years) (OR = 0.81 95%CI = 0.66–0.98; p = 0.033), and families with higher incomes (middle–OR = 0.85; 95%CI = 0.75–0.97; p = 0.014; high–OR = 0.8; 95%CI = 0.69–0.93; p = 0.003) were associated with a decreased chance of children spending more than 2 h/day in front of the screen. In contrast, maternal overweight/obesity (OR = 1.15; 95%CI = 1.03–1.29; p = 0.013) and lower physical activity in children were linked to an increased likelihood of more than 2 h of screen time per day. Our findings suggest that targeted interventions should be developed to mitigate excessive screen time, particularly focusing on low-income families and mothers with low educational levels. 000133453 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/643708/EU/Developing and implementing a community-based intervention to create a more supportive social and physical environment for lifestyle changes to prevent diabetes in vulnerable families across Europe/Feel4Diabetes$$9This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 643708-Feel4Diabetes 000133453 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 000133453 590__ $$a2.1$$b2024 000133453 592__ $$a0.674$$b2024 000133453 591__ $$aPEDIATRICS$$b61 / 191 = 0.319$$c2024$$dQ2$$eT1 000133453 593__ $$aPediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health$$c2024$$dQ2 000133453 594__ $$a3.8$$b2024 000133453 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000133453 700__ $$aMolnár, Mónika 000133453 700__ $$aSzéll, Róbert 000133453 700__ $$aSzollosi, Gergo József 000133453 700__ $$aTöro, Viktória 000133453 700__ $$aShehab, Bashar 000133453 700__ $$aManios, Yannis 000133453 700__ $$aAnastasiou, Costas 000133453 700__ $$aIotova, Violeta 000133453 700__ $$aTsochev, Kaloyan 000133453 700__ $$aChakarova, Nevena 000133453 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-2956-4219$$aGiménez-Legarre, Natalia$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000133453 700__ $$aMiguel Berges, Maria Luisa 000133453 700__ $$aSchwarz, Peter E.
