| dc.description.abstract | : Although obesity prevalence is known to be rising in East Africa, research on childhood obesity is still minimal. We conducted a cross-sectional study to
examine the prevalence of unhealthful dietary patterns, physical activity and sleep behaviors among primary school children in two urban settings in Kenya
and explored the association between the behaviors and overweight/obesity among the children. | en_US |
