摘要

儿童肥胖症是一个复杂的公共卫生问题,对长期健康结果和医疗成本有重大影响。本研究调查了儿童肥胖症的决定因素,重点关注社会经济和环境因素。研究人员通过结构化问卷从焦特普尔市收集了 310 名儿童及其家庭的数据。社会经济变量包括父母的教育水平和家庭收入,而环境因素则包括获得健康食品的机会和进行体育活动的安全户外空间。多元回归分析研究了这些因素与儿童肥胖之间的关系,并控制了潜在的混杂因素。结果表明,父母的教育水平和家庭收入与儿童肥胖成反比,这表明较高的社会经济地位可能会降低肥胖风险。此外,在邻里间获得健康食品的机会也是预测儿童肥胖的一个重要因素,这凸显了环境因素在塑造饮食行为方面的重要性。这些发现强调了针对社会经济差异和生态障碍采取多方面干预措施以促进儿童健康体重的必要性。有效的策略可能包括改善营养食品的获取途径,为社区体育活动创造有利环境。解决儿童肥胖症的决定因素对于减轻其对健康的不利影响和减轻医疗保健系统的负担至关重要。 关键词:儿童肥胖症、公共卫生、健康生活方式、社会经济因素、体育锻炼

DETERMINANTS OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY: A REGRESSION ANALYSIS OF SOCIOECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
Childhood obesity is a complex public health issue with significant implications for long-term health outcomes and healthcare costs. This study investigates the determinants of childhood obesity, focusing on socioeconomic and environmental factors. Data were collected from 310 children and their families using a structured questionnaire from Jodhpur City. Socioeconomic variables included parental education level and household income, while environmental factors encompassed access to healthy food options and safe outdoor spaces for physical activity. Multiple regression analysis examined the relationship between these factors and childhood obesity, controlling for potential confounders. Results indicate that parental education level and household income were inversely associated with childhood obesity, suggesting that higher socioeconomic status may protect against obesity risk. Additionally, access to healthy food options in the neighborhood emerged as a significant predictor of childhood obesity, highlighting the importance of environmental factors in shaping dietary behaviors. These findings underscore the need for multifaceted interventions targeting socioeconomic disparities and ecological barriers to promote healthy weight among children. Effective strategies may include improving access to nutritious foods and creating supportive environments for community physical activity. Addressing the determinants of childhood obesity is crucial for mitigating its adverse health effects and reducing the burden on healthcare systems. KEYWORDS: Childhood Obesity, Public Health, Healthy Lifestyle, Socioeconomic Factors, Physical Activity
