description Objective: Low physical activity and sedentary behaviors, two important determinants of childhood obesity, may be influenced by parental lifestyle and weight status. This study aims to determine the association of parental weight status with children's physical activity and screen time. Methods: This study was conducted on 14,440 Iranian schools students, aged 7–18 years, and one of their parents, who participated in the large national school‐based surveillance program. The children's screen‐based and physical activities were evaluated based on the World Health Organization's Global School Student Health Survey. Children and parental height, weight, and waist circumference were measured using standardized methods. Results: Overall, 14,274 students and one of their parents completed the survey (participation rate: 99%). Mean (standard deviation) age of students was 12.3 (3.2) years, and the prevalence of low physical activity and high screen time was 58.2% and 17.7%, respectively. In multivariate model, the parental general obesity and abdominal obesity increased the odds of children having low physical activity, by 21% and 13%, respectively. Parental overweight, general obesity, and abdominal obesity increased the odds of the combination of low physical activity/high screen time in children by 33%, 26%, and 20%, respectively. Conclusions: This study showed that parental obesity was associated with increased screen‐based activities and low physical activity in children. Focus on parental weight status, as an important factor influenced by their lifestyle, can be helpful for preventing sedentary behaviors in their children. Resumo: Objetivo: A baixa atividade física e comportamentos sedentários, dois importantes fatores determinantes de obesidade infantil, podem ser influenciados pelo estilo de vida e o status do peso dos pais. Este estudo visa a determinar a associação do status do peso dos pais no nível de atividade física e ao tempo de tela das crianças. Métodos: Este estudo foi feito em 14.440 estudantes de escolas iranianas, com idades entre 7‐18 anos e um de seus pais inscritos no grande programa nacional de vigilância escolar. As atividades físicas e em tela das crianças foram avaliadas com base no questionário da Pesquisa Global de Saúde do Escolar da Organização Mundial de Saúde. A estatura, o peso e a circunferência da cintura das crianças e dos pais foram medidos com métodos padronizados. Resultados: De modo geral, 14.274 estudantes e um de seus pais concluíram a pesquisa (taxa de participação: 99%). A idade média (desvio padrão) dos estudantes foi 12,3 (3,2) anos e a prevalência de baixa atividade física e alto tempo de tela foi de 58,2% e 17,7%, respectivamente. Em um modelo multivariado, a obesidade geral dos pais e a obesidade abdominal aumentaram as chances de as crianças com baixo nível de atividade física em 21% e 13%, respectivamente. Sobrepeso dos pais, obesidade geral e obesidade abdominal aumentaram as chances de combinação de baixo nível de atividade física/alto tempo de tela nas crianças em 33%, 26% e 20%, respectivamente. Conclusões: Este estudo mostrou que a obesidade dos pais foi associada ao aumento nas atividades de tela e ao baixo nível de atividade física nas crianças. O foco no status do peso dos pais, como um importante fator influenciado por seu estilo de vida, pode ser útil na prevenção de comportamentos sedentários em seus filhos.
