Healthy lifestyles and physical fitness are associated with abdominal obesity among<scp>Latin‐American</scp>and Spanish preschool children: A cross‐cultural study

Abstract

Lifestyle had a significant association with AO among Spanish-speaking preschool children, with physical fitness especially being a relevant factor regardless of the country of origin. The findings of the current study may support the development of public guidelines focusing on healthy lifestyles in children to create effective plans that contribute to the early treatment of AO in preschool children.
