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. info: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 This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 643708-Feel4Diabetes info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 2.1 2024 PEDIATRICS 61 / 191 = 0.319 2024 Q2 T1 0.674 2024 Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health 2024 Q2 3.8 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Molnár, Mónika Széll, Róbert Szollosi, Gergo József Töro, Viktória Shehab, Bashar Manios, Yannis Anastasiou, Costas Iotova, Violeta Tsochev, Kaloyan Chakarova, Nevena Giménez-Legarre, Natalia Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-2956-4219 Miguel Berges, Maria Luisa Schwarz, Peter E.
