Abstract

Background: Obesity in childhood can be a predictor of a variety of disorders in adulthood. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between birth weight and breastfeeding pattern with obesity in children at the beginning of elementary school. Methods: This case-control study was conducted with 84 obese children as control group and 84 children with normal weight as case group. Data were analyzed by SPSS software. Findings: There was no significant relationship between obesity in childhood with birth weight and breastfeeding pattern. However, there was a significant relationship between the father’s body mass index (BMI) and the child obesity (P = 0.011). Conclusion: There was no relationship between the obesity of children with birth weight and breastfeeding pattern. Since obesity has a very complex relationship with environmental, genetic, cultural, and lifestyle factors including nutritional habits and physical activity in the years after birth, birth weight and type of feeding pattern in the first year of life cannot be a strong predictor for assessing the incidence and prevalence of obesity during this period. Therefore, further studies are recommended to identify the factors influencing children's obesity. © 2021, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences(IUMS). All rights reserved.
