目的：本研究的目的是估计儿童超重和肥胖的患病率，并确定社会人口危险因素在挪威children.Methods：体重指数的6386名儿童年龄在2-19岁的国际肥胖工作组（IOTF）的截止值进行了比较，估计超重，包括肥胖（OWOB）和肥胖（OB）的患病率。结果：OWOB的总患病率为13.8%（男孩为13.2%，女孩为14.5%，p = 0.146），但在6-11岁的小学生中患病率较高（17%，p < 0.001）。发烧兄弟姐妹（p = 0.003）和父母教育水平较低（p = 0.001）的儿童OWOB或OB的风险增加。有没有与父母的就业状况，单亲家庭或origin.Conclusion：OWOB和OB在挪威小学儿童的患病率是值得关注的。社会人口因素对挪威一组儿童目前超重和肥胖的流行有明显影响。这些知识有助于制定战略，减轻儿童超重和肥胖的负担。
Aim:The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity and to identify socio-demographic risk factors in Norwegian children.Methods:The body mass index of 6386 children aged 2-19 years was compared with the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) cut-off values to estimate the prevalence of overweight including obesity (OWOB) and obesity (OB). The effect of socio-demographic factors on this prevalence was analysed using multiple ordinal logistic regression analysis in a subsample of 3793 children.Results:The overall prevalence of OWOB was 13.8% (13.2% in boys and 14.5% in girls, p = 0.146), but the prevalence was higher in primary school children aged 6-11 years (17%, p < 0.001). The risk of being OWOB or OB increased in children with fever siblings (p = 0.003) and with lower parental educational level (p = 0.001). There was no association with parental employment status, single-parent families or origin.Conclusion:The prevalence of OWOB and OB in Norwegian primary school children is of concern. Socio-demographic factors have pronounced effects on the current prevalence of overweight and obesity in a cohort of Norwegian children. This knowledge could help to work out strategies to reduce the burden of overweight and obesity in children.
