  abstract = {{S}edentary behavior ({SED}) has already been identified as a risk factor of childhood overweight ({OW}) but less is known about the dietary patterns related to adiposity. {O}ur objective was to investigate if lifestyle patterns combining overall diet and physical activity were associated with childhood {OW} and if they were involved in the reverse association between socioeconomic status ({SES}) and {OW}. {D}ietary intake was assessed using a 7-d food record in 748 {F}rench children aged 3-11 y from the 1998-1999 cross-sectional {F}rench {E}nquete {I}ndividuelle et {N}ationale sur les {C}onsommations {A}limentaires national food consumption survey. {W}eight and height, leisure time physical activity, {SED} (television viewing), and {SES} were reported by parents or children by answering questionnaires. {S}cores for lifestyle patterns were assessed with factor analysis and their relationship with {OW} was explored by logistic regression analysis. {T}wo similar lifestyle patterns were identified in children aged 3-6 y and 7-11 y: "snacking and sedentary" and "varied food and physically active." {T}he snacking and sedentary pattern was positively associated with {OW} in the youngest children ({P}-trend = 0.0161) and partly mediated the negative association of {SES} to {OW}. {T}he varied food and physically active pattern was inversely correlated with {OW} in the eldest children only ({P}-trend =0.0401). {A} third pattern called "big eaters at main meals" was derived in children aged 7-11 y and was positively correlated with {OW} ({P}-trend = 0.0165). {F}rom a public health perspective, the combinations of identifiable dietary and physical activity behaviors may be useful as a basis for recommendations on preventing {OW}.},
