Abstract

Background & Aims: CHILD OBESITY is increasing in developing countries. This study assessed the prevalence of OBESITY and some related factors among less than 5-years CHILDren in Bandar Turkmen district, Iran. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 616 CHILDren aged LESS THAN 5 YEARS were selected with stratified random sampling. OBESITY was defined as more than +2 standard deviation (SD) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) reference. Data were collected by interviewing mothers using a questionnaire and were analyzed with chi-square and Fisher's tests and multiple regression logistic models. Results: 6 percent of CHILDren were obese. Prevalence of OBESITY did not differ significantly between boys and girls (6 and 6.1 percent respectively). Less than 2500 g and more than 4000 g birth weight (P=0.031), less than 18 months BREAST FEEDING duration (P=0.017), more than 37 years mother's present age (P=0.039), more than 30 years mother's delivery age (P=0.043), and formula or cow's milk plus BREAST FEEDING up to 6 months of age (P=0.018) had significant correlation with CHILDren's OBESITY. Exclusively BREAST FEEDING up to 6 months of age rather than formula or cow's milk plus BREAST FEEDING, reduced OBESITY risk about 2.45 times (P=0.019). Conclusion: This study suggests that exclusively BREAST FEEDING at first 6 months of age, longer BREAST FEEDING duration and pregnancy in lower than 30 years of age reduce risk of CHILD OBESITY.
