Abstract

education level (β=2.569, P=0.001, OR=13.053) were significant predictors of high-intensity ac-tivity.
Thus, the study reveals a notable prevalence of overweight risk among adolescents with BIF. Predictors of overweight risk include age, moth-er’s education level, and IQ score. In addition, gender significantly impacts low-intensity physi-cal activity, whereas age and mother’s education levels are key factors in predicting moderate and high-intensity physical activity in this population.
