Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors associated with childhood obesity.
Methods: In this descriptive study, the number of participants was 78 4-6th grade students in a primary school, and the subjects were overweight or obese. Data were collected for 10 days from June 1 to 10 in 2009. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-test, -test, and multiple logistic regression.
Results: Mother’s occupation is a statistically significant factor in a bivariate analysis. In multiple logistic regression analysis, the statistically significant factors were mother’s occupation (OR=0.17, 95% CI=0.04-0.70) and dietary attitudes (OR=0.08, 95% CI=0.01-0.66).
Conclusion: For an effective obesity management program in childhood, it is necessary to consider a mother occupation and dietary attitudes.
