“…On the other hand, the remarkable decline of physical activity after 2006 corresponds with the development of overweight and obesity prevalence found in our analysis. A similar association was found in Czechia when ana-lysing changes of nutritional status and related factors among adolescents after 2002 (Sigmund et al, 2018;Sigmundová et al, 2014). In addition, a decline of physical activity among Czech adolescents was observed namely in lower socioeconomic groups (Sigmund et al, 2018), indicating that the issue can further contribute to socially determined health inequality.…”

Objectives: The study analyses trends of overweight and obesity among Slovak adolescents aged 11, 13 and 15 years from 2006 to 2014. Methods: The study employs data from the Health Behaviour in School Aged Children study collected in 2006, 2010 and 2014 in Slovakia. We analysed the data from the representative sample of 10,615 adolescents. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated based on the selfreported weight and height. WHO Child Growth Standards were used to categorise age and gender specific BMI cut-off points as normal weight, overweight and obese. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among Slovak adolescents from 2006 to 2014 ranged between 2.0% (11-year old girls in 2006) and 15.9% (15-year old boys in 2010). It increased significantly from 2006 to 2010 in almost all subgroups, except in 11-year old girls. 13 and 15-year old boys dominated above girls in all three surveys.Conclusions: The remarkable increase of overweight and obesity in Slovak adolescents can be associated with a simultaneous decline of physical activity. We assume these changes reflect the expansion of screen-based activities, namely information technologies. These changes highlight a need for effective preventive measures focused on adolescents.

“…As HBSC is a schoolbased survey, data is collected through selfcompletion questionnaires administered in the classroom. This study builds on methodology from a previously published work [18] and extends it by the most recent survey data and different analytical approach.…”

“…Because of repeatedly detected gender and socioeconomically related differences in the prevalence of excessive body weight [18,37] of adolescents, all the analyses were stratified according to the gender of the participants and family SES. An estimate of family SES was provided by the Family Affluence (FA) Scale.…”

“…For the analyses, three categories of SES ("low", "medium", and "high") were created from the composite sum score. Between 2002 and 2010 the SES categories correspond to tertiles of the sum score ("low" = 0-3; "medium" = 4-6, "high" = 7-9) and in 2014 and 2018 as follows: "low" = 0-6, "medium" = 7-9, and "high" = 10-13 [18]. High validity (kappa coefficient 0.41-0.74; 76.2-88.1 agreement) and moderate reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.58) between children's and parents' responses on the FA scale-related items have been documented repeatedly [40][41][42][43][44].…”

“…Although the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages has declined over the last 15 years, it is still high among children and adolescents, with a negative impact on healtha higher incidence of obesity, insulin resistance, and dental caries [17]. Many of the energy balance-related behaviours in children and young people vary considerably with regard to the socio-economic status (SES) of their families [6,16,18,19].…”

Background: The main objective of the study is to analyse the changes in the prevalence of obesity among Czech adolescents between 2002 and 2018 with regard to the socioeconomic status (SES) of adolescents' families and to find SES-separated correlates of adolescents' obesity in 2018. Methods: A nationally representative sample of 29,879 adolescents (49.6% of them boys) aged 10.5-16.5 years was drawn from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children cross-sectional, self-reported questionnaire surveys conducted in 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 in Czechia. Chi-square (χ 2) tests were performed to assess the changes in the prevalence of obesity in both genders and all SES categories of adolescents between 2002 and 2018, and SES category-related differences in the prevalence of obesity in 2018 separately for boys and girls. A series of multiple stepwise logistic regression (backward elimination) analyses were used to reveal obesity correlates separately for SES categories of adolescents. Results: Across the quadrennial surveys from 2002 to 2018, we observed a clear increase in the prevalence of obesity in all SES categories of adolescents, which was most striking (p < 0.05) in adolescents with low SES (boys: + 7.5% points (p.p.); girls + 2.4 p.p.). When all the survey cycles were compared, the highest prevalence of obesity was evident in the low-SES adolescents in 2018, both in girls (5.1%) and boys (12.0%). Regardless of the adolescent SES category, the lower odds of obesity were significantly (p < 0.05) associated with regular vigorous physical activity (PA), participation in organized sport, and daily consumption of sweets. In addition, at least 60 min of moderate-tovigorous PA significantly reduced the odds of obesity in adolescents of low and high SES categories. Conclusions: An unreasonable increase in the prevalence of obesity in adolescents with low SES highlights the need to prevent obesity in adolescents with a low-SES background. Additionally, significantly higher odds of obesity in 11-and 13-year-old adolescents from low-SES families, compared with their peers aged 15, indicated an expectable rise in obesity in older low-SES adolescents in the near future.
