Abstract Objective To investigate the relationship between overweight/obesity and exposure to bisphenol-A in life habits in adolescents. Methods Body mass index was used to evaluate the physical development status of adolescents，and questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the exposure to bisphenol-A in life habits in adolescents. Results The rate of overweight/obesity was significantly higher in boys（36.3%）than in girls（19.2%）（χ2 = 59.76，P < 0.001）. The frequency of bucket water drinking was significantly different between normal weight and overweight/obesity boys （χ2 = 7.654，P = 0.006）. The consumption of carbonated drinks in summer（χ2 = 13.328，P < 0.001）and frequencies of metal canned carbonated drinking（χ2 = 6.485，P = 0.011）were significantly different between normal weight and overweight/obesity girls. Conclusion Overweight/obesity is more popular in boys than in girls. The frequency of bucket water drinking may be related to overweight/obesity in boys. The consumption of carbonated drinks in summer and frequency of metal canned carbonated drinking may be related to overweight/obesity in girls.
