Overweight and obesity in Norwegian children: prevalence and socio-demographic risk factors

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 va...

description 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

Socio‐demographic factors have pronounced effects on the current prevalence of overweight and obesity in a cohort of Norwegian children.
