Introduction Childhood and adolescence are key stages to promote a healthy lifestyle. Objective To analyze the relationship between weight status, physical activity and the Mediterranean diet in schoolchildren in the Region of Murcia. Methods Cross-sectional descriptive study with 520 schoolchildren aged 8-17 years. The weight status was calculated through the body mass index. The Mediterranean diet was found through the KIDMED questionnaire and physical activity was estimated using the IPAQ-C and IPAQ-A questionnaires. Results The Mediterranean diet is not significantly associated with sex (P < .537) or weight status (P < .417) but it maintains a relationship of dependence with age (P < .010) and the level of physical activity (P < .000). Schoolchildren in normal weight and assets have a greater follow-up to the Mediterranean diet than their overweight and sedentary peers (P < .000). Conclusion The Fat but fit phenomenon applied to the Mediterranean diet is confirmed.
