Aim: To investigate cross-correlates of pocket money on diet quality and weight status of adolescents. Sample/Methods: For the purposes of the study, 172 adolescents (55.2% boys), aging 10-15 years old were enrolled. Body weight and height were measured, body mass index (BMI) was computed. Weight status tiers according to the International Obesity Task Force criteria and diet quality through the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2010 were assessed. Results: Adolescents herein received a mean daily allowance of 4.63±3.66€, irrespective of sex. BMI correlated with pocket money only in boys (rho=0.311, p≤0.002). Normoweight boys were found to receive statistically less money than their overweight peers (p≤0.019). Normoweight was more prevalent in the lowest monetary quartiles for both sexes. Pocket money did not associate with HEI score. In boys, moderate HEI was more prevalent in the third quartile, significantly higher compared to all others (p≤0.001 for all). For girls, the prevalence of moderate HEI declined by ascending pocket money quartile (1st vs 2nd and 3rd: PR=1.61, 95%CI:1.25-2.07, p≤0.001; 1st vs 4th: PR=1.32, 95%CI: 1.10-1.59, p≤0.004; 2nd vs 3rd: PR=1.36, 95%CI:1.16-1.60, p≤0.031).Conclusions: The adolescents herein were found to exhibit high rates of pooled overweight and the vast majority to endorse a moderate in diet quality. Pocket money associated with BMI solely in boys. Since pocket money did not associate with diet quality, one should consider the fact that adolescents may in fact choose to spend their money on non-food items. It becomes evident that pocket money provided by the familiar environment of the adolescents should be controlled, while educating minors on spending their money in healthier choices is highly recommended.
