“…But, it was in a sharp contrast with study findings reported elsewhere [25–27] where girls were found to be affected more than the boys and where sex had no significant effect on child overweight and obesity [28]. This partly might be the result of interactions between genetic, environmental factors, metabolism, eating and physical activity behavior, and social and individual psychology [29].…”

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to assess the determinants of overweight and obesity among children under 5 years in Ethiopia.ResultsData from a total of 672 (224 cases and 448 controls) under 5 years of age children were included in the study. Urban residence (AOR = 2.63, 95% CI 1.29, 5.34), boys (AOR = 1.56, 95% CI 1.10, 2.22) and age of the child less than 6 months (AOR = 3.40, 95% CI 2.05, 5.64) were the determinants for being childhood overweight and obesity.

Background Researches on nutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa have primarily focused on under-nutrition. Despite, the sufficient evidence of an ongoing nutritional transition to over nutrition in these settings, the determinant factors is unclear. Therefore, this study is aimed to assess the determinants of overweight and obesity among children under five years in Ethiopia. Methods A case control study design was employed to the data collected by the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey which used a stratified, two-stage cluster sampling design. Six hundred seventy two children of aged under five were extracted through Body Mass Index (BMI). Based on WHO 2006 reference population Z-score was chosen for age; 224 children enrolled (BMI z-score >2) as cases and 448 children (BMI z-score between -2 and +2) as control group from the national survey data set. Regression analyses were performed to investigate determinant factors of children with overweight and obesity. Results Urban residence (AOR = 2.63, 95% CI: 1.29, 5.34), Boys (AOR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.10, 2.22) and age of the child less than 6 months (AOR=3.40, 95%CI: 2.05, 5.64) were the determinants for being childhood overweight and obesity. Conclusion Being in the age of less than 24 months, urban residence and boys leads to childhood overweight or obesity. Therefore, this study suggests that nutrition education on feeding practices in the urban setting, targeted; age-specific infant and young child feeding practices are needed to improve nutrition among children in Ethiopia.

The occurrence of overweight and obesity has increased in recent years in India. In this study, we investigate the prevalence and associated risk factors of overweight/obesity among children aged 0–59 months in India. Using data from the 2015–2016 National Family Health Survey-4 (NFHS-4), the research sample included 176,255 children aged 0 to 59 months. Bivariate and multivariate techniques were used to analyze children’s risk factors for overweight/obesity. We identified that the prevalence of overweight/obesity among children aged 0–59 was 2.6% in India. The study findings reveal that factors such as child sex, age, birth weight, birth rank, maternal education, number of children, age at marriage, mother’s BMI, media exposure, social group, and dietary diversity score were most significantly correlated with childhood overweight and obesity in India. Furthermore, we found that male children (ARR: 1.08) aged between 0 and 11 months (ARR: 3.77) with low birth rank (ARR: 1.24), obese (ARR: 1.81) children whose mothers married after the age of 18 (ARR: 1.15), children who belong to a scheduled tribe family (ARR: 1.46), and children who consumed 7–9 food items (ARR: 1.22) were at highest risk of being overweight and obese. However, breastfeeding (ARR: 0.85) and Muslim families (ARR: 0.87) appeared to be protective factors with respect to childhood overweight and obesity in India. Pertinent public health programs, clinical follow-up, and awareness about sedentary lifestyles can help to reduce overweight/obesity risks in children.
