BMI and percentile were calculated using official centre for disease control growth chart for 2 to 20 years. Logistic regression analysis was done to see association of various factors with childhood obesity. P value of ?0.05 was taken as significant.

儿童肥胖在富裕社会中出现，这与体力活动减少和饮食模式改变有关。本研究旨在了解锡尔赫特市学童中儿童肥胖的患病率及危险因素。
随机选取锡尔赫特市两所学校的五年级和六年级学生。收集人口统计学和人体测量数据，并记录在预先设计的数据表中。使用疾病控制中心官方的2至20岁生长图表计算体重指数（BMI）和百分位数。进行逻辑回归分析以观察各种因素与儿童肥胖的关联。P值<0.05被视为具有统计学意义。
本研究共纳入288名儿童。年龄在10至14岁之间。其中，肥胖和超重儿童分别占5.6%和8.7%。女孩中的肥胖率显著更高（6.8%对3.6%）。在体育锻炼和户外游戏中花费时间较少的儿童中，肥胖和超重的患病率更高（p = 0.001）。饮食习惯、看电视、玩电脑游戏和睡眠时间未被发现是肥胖的显著预测因素。
女孩中的肥胖率显著更高（6.8%对3.6%）。体力活动较少的女孩主要与超重和肥胖有关。
