“…It is though that mechanisms such as autonomic dysfunction, increased insülin level, vascular impairment in while it was <2.500 g in 10.6% of obese children and in 21.9% of non-obese children. The likelihood of obesity was 3.38 folds (1.67-6.86) higher in children with birth weight >4.000 g. In a study on 1.253 student aged 6-14 years, it was found that the obesity incidence was significantly higher among children with higher birth weight in agreement with our study (18). In a largescale study on children aged 9-11 years, it was found that the obesity risk was higher in children with birth weight>4.000 g when compared to those with low birth weight (19).…”

A significant correlation was found between obesity and time spent for TV, computer and video games per day (p<0.001). The obesity was significantly decreased by increasing duration of physical activity. In the study, the obesity incidence was 1.77-folds (1.25-2.50) higher in children with obese mother and 2.01-folds (1.42-2.85) in children with obese father. Conclusion: The obesity incidence is progressively increasing in childhood as with other age groups. To prevent such increase, measures should be taken as early as possible.
