The United States Head Start program serves low-income preschoolers and their caregivers and provides an opportunity for assessment and intervention on obesity. We sought to determine the prevalence of obesity among children and their caregivers and to identify variables that are associated with child BMI z-scores (BMIz) and caregiver BMI. Cross-sectional data on diet and BMI from 770 caregiver-child dyads recruited from 57 Head Start centers in Alabama and Texas. Height and weight of each caregiver and child were measured using standardized protocols. Dietary intakes of caregiver-child dyads were collected using three 24-hour dietary recalls and Block Food Frequency Questionnaires. Data were collected between September, 2004 and November, 2005. The larger food pyramid categories were divided into 17 food consumption groups and tested for their association with child BMIz. ANOVA was used to test whether food groups were significantly associated with child BMIz. The prevalence of obesity among children was 18.4%, 24.3% and 37.3% among Black (B), Hispanic (H) and White (W), respectively (P<0.0001), while it was 58.3%, 41.4% and 41.6% among B, H and W caregivers, respectively (P<0.0001). Child BMIz and caregiver BMI were correlated (r=0.16, P<0.0001). In multivariable models, children were 1.90 (95% CI: 1.31-2.74) times more likely to have BMI ≥95th percentile if their caregiver was obese. Five variables (fruits, unsweetened beverages, low-fat dairy, race and caregiver’s BMI) were significantly associated with child BMIz. Fruits were inversely related, while unsweetened beverages, low-fat dairy, and caregiver’s BMI were positively associated with child BMIz (P<0.03). Compared to whites, B and H children had lower BMIz (P<0.05). The high prevalence of obesity in this population together with the observed inverse association between fruit consumption and BMI, if replicated in other studies, suggests that interventions that promote fruit consumption could have beneficial effects on child BMI.
