Abstract

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of childhood overweight and obesity among 10-year-old schoolchildren in Hoavang, Danang City. From January to May 2023, a cross-sectional study was carried out utilizing a structured self-administered questionnaire to collect data. The height and weight measurements of 518 children were recorded. Body mass index for age Z scores (BAZs) were employed to classify children’s nutritional status following the World Health Organization criteria. Subsequently, the data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. The study encompassed a cohort of 518 students, 110 (21.2%) classified as overweight and 64 (12.4%) as obese. Significantly, the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) demonstrated that male subjects exhibited a 3-fold higher risk of overweight and obesity than female subjects (aOR = 2.9, P < .0001). Skipping breakfast and confectionery/sweet food consumption were defined, demonstrating significant associations with elevated odds of being overweight and obese. The findings revealed that approximately one-third of primary schoolchildren in Hoavang, Danang City, were affected by overweight and obesity. This alarming prevalence underscores the urgent need for interventions.

越南岘港市一名 10 岁儿童的超重和肥胖问题

本研究旨在确定岘港市胡旺区 10 岁学龄儿童超重和肥胖的发生率及相关因素。研究于 2023 年 1 月至 5 月进行，采用结构化自填问卷的方式收集数据。研究记录了 518 名儿童的身高和体重。根据世界卫生组织的标准，采用身体质量指数年龄 Z 值（BAZs）对儿童的营养状况进行分类。随后，使用 SPSS 25 版本对数据进行了分析。研究涵盖了 518 名学生，其中 110 人（21.2%）被归类为超重，64 人（12.4%）被归类为肥胖。值得注意的是，调整后的几率比（aOR）显示，男生超重和肥胖的风险是女生的 3 倍（aOR = 2.9，P < .0001）。不吃早餐和食用糖果/甜食与超重和肥胖几率升高有显著关联。研究结果显示，岘港市胡旺区约有三分之一的小学生患有超重和肥胖症。这一令人担忧的患病率凸显了采取干预措施的迫切性。
