Özet
Aim: In this study, it was aimed to determine the childhood obesity prevalence and the factors playing a part in the development of obesity in the central province of Duzce. Material and Methods: This study is cross-sectional and case control study. Anthropometric measurements were conducted on 1245 second graders in the central province of Duzce. A questionnaire was applied to the students’ families with BMI-for-age Z-score (BAZ) +2 and over (case group) and between-2 and +2 (control group). Results: The found obesity frequency was 10.1%. In the development of child obesity, those who generally (four-six days a week) have breakfast (OR=3.67, p=0.006) (compared to those who have breakfast regularly (seven days a week)), regularly have lunch (OR=3.52, p=0.001), eat fast (OR=2.38, p=0.016), whose parents are moderately satisfied with their weight (OR=24.13, p<0.001), are not satisfied (OR=47.11, p<0.001), not satisfied at all (OR=39.38, p=0.001) risky (compared to satisfied parents) whose birth weight was over 4000 gr. (OR=12.02, p=0.002) (compared to birth weight under 2500 gr.) were found to be risky. The higher the number of obese relatives, the higher the risk of obesity was (OR=1.38, p=0.008). Conclusion: The birth weight of the child, number of obese relatives, nutritional habits, dissatisfaction of the parents with the child’s weight are effective in the development of obesity. © 2017, Duzce University Medical School.
