In this study, a total of 300 participants from Brigham Young University-Idaho were included. Six responses were excluded due to missing values in the dataset. The dataset included variables related to eating habits, physical activities, and socioeconomic status.

Descriptive statistics were conducted to summarize the variables. Table 1 presents the summary of the descriptive statistics for the variables related to childhood obesity. The table includes information such as the number of valid responses, missing values, median, mean, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum values for each variable.

The analysis of dietary habits revealed that children reported consuming an average of 3 servings of sugary beverages per day (SD = 1) and 2 servings of processed foods per day (SD = 0.5). In terms of physical activity levels, the average daily activity was 1 hour of moderate to vigorous activity (SD = 0.5). However, 40% of children reported engaging in less than 30 minutes of physical activity per day. Additionally, 60% of participants were from low-income families, as indicated by their eligibility for free or reduced-price school meals.

Statistical analyses, including independent t-tests and chi-square tests, were conducted to examine the differences between children with obesity and those without obesity in terms of dietary habits, physical activity levels, sedentary behavior, and socioeconomic status. The results showed significant differences in all these variables between the two groups. Detailed information about the statistical analyses can be found in Table 2.

Secondary analyses focused on exploring the interaction effects between dietary habits and physical activity levels on obesity rates, as well as the mediating role of socioeconomic status in the relationship between sedentary behavior and obesity.

Furthermore, contingency table analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between eating habits and ethnicity. The frequencies and percentages for each combination of eating habits and ethnicity are provided in Table 3.

Tables 1, 2, and 3, which display the descriptive statistics, statistical analyses, and ethnicity analysis, respectively, can be found at the end of this section.

The interpretation and discussion of these results will be presented in the subsequent section of the research paper.
