To estimate the obesity prevalence among school-age children in Mexico and define possible risk-associated factors.
Data from National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ensanut 2018-19) was used. Information from 6 268 school-age children and 5 670 teenagers was obtained. Logistic regression models were esti-mated in order to study the relationship between overweight and obesity (OW+O) and sociodemographic variables, OW+O condition in their parents, health, dietary and healthy behaviors variables.
. OW+O in school-age children and teenagers is associated with the presence of OW+O in their mothers (p<0.001), more time spent in front of a screen and belonging to a middle wealth conditions index; a negative association was found for dietary fiber consumption. In teenagers with obesity, the odds for depression showed an increase.
It is important to identify the predisposing and risk factors and the causes behind obesity in children in order to design integral prevention strategies.
评估墨西哥学龄儿童的肥胖患病率，并确定可能的风险相关因素。
使用了来自国家健康与营养调查（2018 - 19年全国健康与营养调查）的数据。获取了6268名学龄儿童和5670名青少年的信息。为研究超重和肥胖（超重 + 肥胖）与社会人口统计学变量、父母的超重 + 肥胖状况、健康、饮食及健康行为变量之间的关系，估计了逻辑回归模型。
学龄儿童和青少年的超重 + 肥胖与他们母亲存在超重 + 肥胖情况（p<0.001）、在屏幕前花费更多时间以及属于中等财富状况指数相关；发现膳食纤维摄入量与之呈负相关。在肥胖青少年中，患抑郁症的几率有所增加。
识别儿童肥胖的易患因素、风险因素及背后原因对于设计综合预防策略很重要。
