Abstract

Background: The condition of being overweight is the abnormal excessive accumulation of fat in the body. Globally, it is a serious public health issue in both developing and developed countries.

Objective: This study aims to identify determinants of overweight among primary school children in Arba Minch town, Southern Ethiopia, 2021.

Methods: A school-based unmatched case control study was conducted from June 20 to 30, 2021. The total sample size was 285 (95 cases and 190 controls). Multistage sampling technique was used. Data were entered using Epi data 3.1 version and analyzed using SPSS version 24 software. Frequency, tables and figures were used. Bivariable analysis was done and variables with p <0.025 were entered to multivariable logistic regression analysis. Statistical significance was declared at p <0.05 with 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results: The odds of overweight increased 19.8 times more in children whose fathers work in private business [AOR: 19.82, 95% CI: 6.21, 63.25], increased 4.8 times more in children who consume meat on more than 2 days per week [AOR: 4.75, 95% CI: 1.61, 14.03], increased 5 times more in children who consume milk on more than 2 days per week [AOR: 5.02, 95% CI: 1.80, 13.98], increased 11.9 times more in children who spend more than 6 hours sitting per day [AOR: 11.89, 95% CI: 4.13, 34.28]. And also, odds decreased by 84% in children who consume fruit on more than 2 days per week [AOR: 0.07, 95% CI: 0.03, 0.19], decreased 93% in children who consume vegetables on more than 2 days per week [AOR: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.06, 0.42], decreased 67% in children who consume cereals on more than 2 days per week [AOR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.13, 0.84].

Conclusion: Fathers working in private business, consuming fruit, vegetables, cereals, meat and milk on more than 2 days per week and sitting for more than 6 hours per day were determinants for overweight in this study. Therefore, it is better to include fruit, vegetables and cereals in dietary habits, decrease consumption of meat and milk and minimize sitting to less than 6 hours per day including school learning time.

2021年，埃塞俄比亚南部Arba Minch镇小学儿童超重的决定因素

背景:超重是指体内脂肪的异常过度积累。在全球范围内，这在发展中国家和发达国家都是一个严重的公共卫生问题。目的:本研究旨在确定2021年埃塞俄比亚南部Arba Minch镇小学生超重的决定因素。方法:于2021年6月20日至30日开展以学校为基础的病例对照研究。总样本量为285例(95例病例和190例对照)。采用多级采样技术。数据录入采用Epi数据3.1版，分析采用SPSS 24版软件。使用频率、表格和图表。结果:父亲在私营企业工作的儿童超重的几率增加了19.8倍[AOR: 19.82, 95% CI: 6.21, 63.25]，每周食用肉类超过2天的儿童超重的几率增加了4.8倍[AOR: 4.75, 95% CI: 1.61, 14.03]，每周食用牛奶超过2天的儿童超重的几率增加了5倍[AOR: 5.02, 95% CI:[1.80, 13.98]，而每天坐着超过6小时的儿童则增加了11.9倍[AOR: 11.89, 95% CI: 4.13, 34.28]。此外，每周食用水果超过2天的儿童的赔率降低了84% [AOR: 0.07, 95% CI: 0.03, 0.19]，每周食用蔬菜超过2天的儿童赔率降低了93% [AOR: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.06, 0.42]，每周食用谷物超过2天的儿童赔率降低了67% [AOR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.13, 0.84]。结论:在这项研究中，在私营企业工作、每周食用水果、蔬菜、谷物、肉类和牛奶超过2天、每天坐着超过6小时的父亲是超重的决定因素。因此，最好在饮食习惯中加入水果、蔬菜和谷物，减少肉类和牛奶的摄入，每天坐着的时间减少到6小时以下，包括上学的时间。
