| Abstract |
Child obesity is the new health problem nowadays and its etiologic factors are still obscure and undefined. For studying the factors affecting child obesity, we performed health screenining for 3,053 primary school children about their height, weight, triceps skin fold thickness and selected 260 children with Power index over 2.8x10 as obese group. Then the control group of 450 children was chosen by random sampling from remaining children matching age and sex with obese children. The 37.3% of both groups were answered for our questionnare by single mail-reply method.
The results were as follows ;
1. Other familial factors as physical socioeconomical, emotional factors showed no significant differences between both groups.
2. Sleeping duration of obese group was lesser than that of control group.(P<0.05)
3. Parental weight and body mass index were correlated with the power index of their children with The coefficient of 0.272, 0.312 respectively.
So we conclud that child obesity is mainly affected by their parental weight and BMI, which suggest genetic factor is the main cause of child obesity. |
