ABSTRACT
Introduction Overweight and weight-related behaviors developed during childhood and adolescence tend to track into adulthood, with signicant long-term health implications [1-3]. Consumption of sugary drinks (SDs) and levels of sedentariness in this age group are of particular concern, given that there is probable and convincing evidence, respectively, that these behaviors are associated with increased risk of weight gain and the development of obesity [3-8]. In addition, there is evidence of a clustering of obesity-promoting behaviors, through the positive association between screen time (ST) and SD intake [9-12].
