Objective To provide an in-depth analysis of the relationship between obesity and fast-food consumption by comparing urban obese and normal-weight Saudi Arabian children. Design A multicentre cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2015 to March 2016. Participants were divided into two groups (normal weight and obese) and further stratified by sex. Groups were randomly selected using a multistage stratified cluster-sampling technique. A self-paced questionnaire was used to collect data relating to food consumption. Weight height and waist circumference were measured and bioelectrical impedance analysis was performed in all children. Setting Capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. Subjects Children aged 9·00–11·99 years ( n 1023). Results Compared with normal-weight groups, intake frequency of fast food/week was higher among the obese groups ( P P P P P P =0·002). Taste of fast foods ( P =0·021), child-friendly menu ( P =0·020) and meal cost ( P Conclusions Development of effective interventions to reduce fast-food consumption in Saudi Arabian schoolchildren requires greater research-based evidence of fast-food consumption habits and practices associated with increased childhood obesity
