Abstract

Overweight and obesity in children is increasing in cities across the country, but research data on these are still very limited. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 120 chidren of the Sai Dong New Urban Area kindergarten and 20/10 kindergarten in order to assess risk factors for overweight and obesity of children in 2015. Research results show that, the percentage of children with overweight was 11.4% and obesity was 3.8%. Children who were active for less than 2 hours per day were 3.2 times more likely to be overweight/obesity than children who were active for 2 hours or more per day. Children watching TV, playing games with smart phones or tablets more than 1 hour / day had 5.9 times more likely to be overweight/obesity than children watching TV, playing games with smart phones, or tablet less than 1 hour / day. Babies with birthweight more than 3.6 kg or under 2.5 kg had 3.8 times more likely to be overweight/obesity than those with birthweight of 2.5-3.6 kg. Children whose parents suffer from overweight/obesity were 3.8 times more likely to be overweight/obesity than children who have parents without overweight/obesity. In conclusion, families and the schools need to pay more attention to nutrition education and physical activities for children as well as restrict risk factors for overweight and obesity in children.
