RESUMO
Objective To analyze the relationship between family-related factors and the status of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents aged 6-17 years in China.Methods Data were collected from the China National Nutrition and Health Surveillance in 2010-2012 program.A sample of 6 343 subjects aged 6-17 years was selected,with matched weight,education levels,household income and other family related factors of their parents.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to explore the relationship between family factors and overweight and obesity in school-aged children and adolescents.Results After adjusted for age,gender and region,results from the multivariate logistic regression showed that both the overweight and obesity of children and adolescents were associated with maternal BMI (OR=1.83,95％ CI:1.63-2.05),paternal BMI (OR=1.74,95％CI:1.57-1.94),mother's educational level (OR=1.24,95％CI:1.12-1.37) and household income (OR=l.30,95％CI:1.15-1.46).Conclusion Factors as overweight or obesity status of the parents,mother's educational level and household income were positively correlated with the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Chinese children and adolescents.
