Logistic regression analysis showed that only for girls, total ST (≥4h) , smartphone ST (≥3h) and non-smartphone ST (≥2h) were all independently and significantly associated with overweight/obesity compared to In Japanese girls, smartphone ST, non-smartphone ST, and total ST were all significantly associated with OW/OB.
