To find out the association between parental obesity and childhood obesity.
Children in middle schools were screened for obesity. For each obese child two controls were studied.
Parental history of obesity was present for 32.7% of obese children. Children with parental history of obesity showed 25.2 times more chances of developing obesity than controls. 33.8% of the obese girls and 31.6% of the obese boys had history of parental obesity. If the father was obese, boys had 6.5 times more chance and girls had 40.1 times more chance of developing obesity. Mother's obesity had an influence on 23.7 % of the boys and only 16 % of the girls.
The childhood obesity has been influenced by genetic factors in the present study and it also shows that maternal obesity mainly passes to boys and paternal obesity to girls.
探讨父母肥胖与儿童肥胖的关系。
对中学生进行肥胖筛查。每例肥胖儿童选取 2 例对照。
肥胖儿童的父母肥胖史发生率为 32.7%。有父母肥胖史的儿童肥胖发生的几率是对照组的 25.2 倍。肥胖女孩中 33.8%和肥胖男孩中 31.6%有父母肥胖史。如果父亲肥胖，男孩肥胖的几率是对照组的 6.5 倍，女孩是 40.1 倍。母亲肥胖对 23.7%的男孩和 16%的女孩有影响。
本研究显示儿童肥胖受遗传因素影响，且母亲肥胖主要传给男孩，父亲肥胖主要传给女孩。
