ABSTRACT
Objective. To estimate the obesity prevalence among
school-age children in Mexico and define possible riskassociated
factors.
Materials and methods. Data from
National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ensanut 2018-19) was
used. Information from 6 268 school-age children and 5 670
teenagers was obtained. Logistic regression models were estimated
in order to study the relationship between overweight
and obesity (OW+O) and sociodemographic variables,
OW+O condition in their parents, health, dietary and healthy
behaviors variables.
Results. OW+O in school-age children
and teenagers is associated with the presence of OW+O
in their mothers (p‹0.001), more time spent in front of a
screen and belonging to a middle wealth conditions index; a
negative association was found for dietary fiber consumption.
In teenagers with obesity, the odds for depression showed
an increase.
Conclusion. It is important to identify the
predisposing and risk factors and the causes behind obesity
in children in order to design integral prevention strategies.
