Résumé

The interdependence among eating behaviour (EB), physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) suggests simultaneously identifying homogeneous profiles and describing their changes. This study aimed to 1) identify cross-sectional lifestyle behaviour profiles and their 2-year changes among French school-aged adolescents and, 2) identify factors associated with these profiles and changes. Longitudinal data from adolescents who participated in the PRomotion de l'ALIMentation et de l'Activité Physique trial were used. PA and ST were assessed with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and EB with a food frequency questionnaire. Profiles at baseline and their changes were identified by latent transition analysis. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with profiles and their changes. Among 2390 adolescents included (14-18 years), five baseline profiles that differed mainly in EB were identified: "healthy diet and high PA (7.9%)", "big eater and moderate to high PA (23.8%)", "healthy diet and low PA (31.2%)", "restrictive diet and moderate PA (20.6%)", "sugar products, nibbling and moderate PA (16.5%)". Young adolescents, those who were overweight or obese and socially advantaged were more in the "healthy diet and low PA" than others. Boys, older and socially less advantaged adolescents exhibited more "unfavourable" than "mixed" changes, while adolescents with overweight or obesity had less "unfavourable" than "mixed" changes. In conclusion, adolescents were twice the number in the least than the most favourable profile. Findings highlighted the importance of EB among adolescents and suggest taking adolescents' sociodemographic and weight characteristics into account in interventions aimed at acting on adolescents' behaviours.
