160 students of both sexes, aged 8 to 10, were selected from North Giza primary schools for an observational cross-sectional study. Smartphone addiction was assessed using the smartphone addiction scale-short version (SAS-SV). The Arabic version of the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to gauge sleep, and the CDC-recommended approach was used to measure BMI (kg/m²), which was then converted to z-scores.
