背景：儿童超重和肥胖是尼泊尔等许多低收入和中等收入国家的主要健康问题。有证据表明，健康与获得绿色空间之间存在重大关联。目的：评估尼泊尔加德满都市小学生中儿童超重和肥胖的患病率，并确定其与绿地的关系。方法：采用横断面研究方法，对加德满都市区所选小学440名学生（男195名，女245名）进行调查。参与研究的儿童的母亲/看护人也进行了研究。结果：440名儿童中，13.2%超重；6.8%的人肥胖。在双变量分析中，16个研究变量中有4个与超重/肥胖有显著关联，经过混杂因素调整后，发现它们是超重/肥胖的独立预测因子。他们包括上学的交通方式（aOR 2.08, 95% CI 1.12至3.88），含糖零食（aOR 2.57, 95% CI 1.12至5.91）和咸/咸零食（aOR 4.13, 95% CI 1.71至9.96），以及绿地与儿童住所的距离（aOR 27.46, 95% CI 6.10至123.54）。结论：五分之一的城市学校儿童超重或肥胖。与绿地的距离被确定为影响儿童超重/肥胖的最重要因素
Background: Childhood overweight and obesity is a major health problem in many low- and middle-income countries such as Nepal. There is evidence indicating a significant association between health and access to green space. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity, and to identify its association with green space among primary school children in Kathmandu metropolitan city, Nepal. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 440 (195 male and 245 female) students studying in selected primary schools of Kathmandu metropolitan city. Mothers/caretakers of the participating children were also studied. Results: Of the 440 children, 13.2% were overweight; 6.8% were obese. 4 of 16 studied variables that had significant associations with overweight/obesity in bivariate analyses, were found independent predictors of overweight/obesity after being adjusted for confounders. They included mode of transportation to school (aOR 2.08, 95% CI 1.12 to 3.88), consumption of sugary snack (aOR 2.57, 95% CI 1.12 to 5.91) and salty/savory snack (aOR 4.13, 95% CI 1.71 to 9.96), and the distance of a green space from child's residence (aOR 27.46, 95% CI 6.10 to 123.54). Conclusion: One-fifth of the children in urban schools were found to be overweight or obese. The distance to a green space was identified as the most significant factor influencing childhood overweight/obesity
