Objective To understand the current prevalence and influencing factors of obesity in children aged 0 to 5 years in Jiangsu Province,in order to proride reference for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.Methods A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to recruit children aged 0 to 5 years from 10 cities in Jiangsu Province between April 2014 and March 2015 for a multi-center large-sample survey.Through a self-designed questionnaire,information on height/length,weight,gender,birth condition,region,and season was collected.A multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of obesity in children aged 0 to 5 years.Results A total of 5284 children aged 0 to 5 years were surveyed,with an obesity detection rate of 6.8％.The obesity detection rates for children aged 0 to＜1 year,1 to＜2 years,2 to＜3 years,3 to＜4 years,4 to＜5 years,and 5 to＜6 years were 7.7％,4.7％,4.0％,6.0％,7.1％,and 11.0％,respectively.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that compared to children aged 2 to＜3 years,the risk of obesity was higher in children aged 0 to＜1 year and 5 to＜6 years(OR=1.982,2.202);boys,children with birth weight ≥4 000 g,and children surveyed during winter had a higher risk of obesity(OR=1.581,1.600,2.109,P＜0.05).Conclusions The obesity rate in children aged 0 to 5 years in Jiangsu Province is at a relatively high level.The incidence of obesity is statistically associated with age,gender,birth weight,and the season of the survey,related intervention measures are warranted for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.
