Resumen

Fundamento. El objetivo es evaluar la prevalencia de obesidad entre preescolares de Suzhou (China) y analizar su relación con diferentes factores.

Métodos. En el estudio participaron niños de 3 a 6 años de edad de varios jardines de infancia de Suzhou. Se midieron la altura y el peso para determinar el estado de obesidad, y los padres rellenaron cuestionarios para obtener información relevante sobre estilos de vida. Se compararon las tasas de obesidad mediante Chi-cuadrado y el análisis de regresión logística por pasos identificó los factores de riesgo asociados.

Resultados. Participaron 848 preescolares. La prevalencia global de obesidad fue del 14,0%: 4,0% de moderada y 7,5% leve. La prevalencia de obesidad fue mayor en niños (15,3% frente a 12,7%) y en zonas rurales (17,2% frente a 13,1%), aunque con diferencias estadísticamente no significativas. La obesidad fue más prevalente a los 3 años (16,1%) y menos prevalente a los 6 (11,2%). Tanto en niños como en niñas, la edad (OR=0,30; IC95%: 0,19-0,38 y OR=0,24; IC95%: 0,17-0,36), la altura (OR=1,21; IC95%: 1,16-1,26 y OR=1,25; IC95%: 1,18-1,38) y la zona urbana/rural (OR=0,60; IC95%: 0,34-0,86 y OR=0,48; IC95%: 0,31-0,84) resultaron predictores independientes de obesidad en preescolares de Suzhou, China.

Conclusiones. La tasa de obesidad entre preescolares de Suzhou es del 14,0%. Menor edad, mayor estatura y residir en zona rural fueron identificados como predictors independientes de obesidad en ambos sexos.
