ABSTRACT

Introduction and objectives: The increase of obesity during childhood is alarming. Its persistence in adulthood causes a high rate of morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this research was to early detect overweight and obese children at the Volodia day-nursery, from Arroyo Naranjo in Havana, Cuba; and to identify some associated risk factors. Method: 122 infants aged between 1 and 5 years, of both sexes (59 girls and 63 boys) were studied. The association of obesity with other risk factors such as birth weight, sex, family history, dietary habits and physical activity was determined. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 9.0% and 7.4% respectively, there was a statistically significant association between obesity and several variables such as family history of obesity (X2=5.690, p=0.017), waist circumference greater than 97 percentile (X2=5.690, p=0.017), and the presence of low weight or overweight at birth (X2=6.348, p=0.042). Conclusions: There is a tendency to overweight and obesity in these children. In the obese the following factors predominated: family history, waist circumference greater than 97 percentile, and low weight or overweight at birth. There was a tendency to unlimited diet and little physical activity.
