Abstract

 Background: Childhood Overweight and Obesity is a major Health problem in many low-and middle-income countries such as Nepal. There is evidence indicating a significant association between Health and access to Green space. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of Childhood Overweight and Obesity, and to identify its association with Green space among primary school Children in Kathmandu metropolitan city, Nepal. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 440 (195 male and 245 female) students studying in selected primary schools of Kathmandu metropolitan city. Mothers/caretakers of the participating Children were also studied. Results: Of the 440 Children, 13. 2% were Overweight; 6. 8% were obese. 4 of 16 studied variables that had significant associations with Overweight/Obesity in bivariate analyses, were found independent predictors of Overweight/Obesity after being adjusted for confounders. They included mode of transportation to school (aOR 2. 08, 95% CI 1. 12 to 3. 88), consumption of sugary snack (aOR 2. 57, 95% CI 1. 12 to 5. 91) and salty/savory snack (aOR 4. 13, 95% CI 1. 71 to 9. 96), and the distance of a Green space from Child's residence (aOR 27. 46, 95% CI 6. 10 to 123. 54). Conclusion: One-fifth of the Children in urban schools were found to be Overweight or obese. The distance to a Green space was identified as the most significant factor influencing Childhood Overweight/Obesity.
