ABSTRACT

Background:

Preventing overweight and obesity in early childhood is a priority for healthcare systems worldwide due to the harmful effects on health and economy over the medium and long term.

Objective:

The aim of this study is therefore the identification of the determinants predictive of overweight and obesity during the first 24 months of a child's life. Material and

Methods:

From May 2021 to January 2022, 1012 mother-child pairs were included in this study and were interviewed at urban and rural health centers in the Skhirat-Temara in Morocco prefecture using a questionnaire. The anthropometric measurements of the children were also taken according to World Health Organization standards.

Results:

The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children aged 0-24 months was 16.5%. This prevalence increased with age (12.5% for the 0-6 months group, and 15.5% and 21.5% respectively for the 7-12 months and 13-24 months groups). Cesarean delivery (aOR=1.78; 95%CI 1.26-2.51; p=0.001), more than two living siblings in the household (aOR=1.48; 95%CI 1.03-2.12; p=0.03), male gender (aOR=1.56; 95%CI 1.10-2.20; p=0.01), and child age (aOR=0.94; 95% 0.92-0.97; p <0.001) are significant predictors of overweight and obesity. Paternal smoking (aOR=2.16; 95%CI 1.15- 4.06; p=0.01), short sleep duration (aOR=4.05; 95%CI 1.27-12.88; p=0.01) in children aged 7-12 months, and combined breastfeeding (aOR=5.88; 95%CI 2.07-16.72; p<0.001) during the first six months in children aged 13-24 months are also predictive determinants for this problem.

Conclusion:

The identification of early predictors of overweight and obesity can be used by public health decision-makers as a roadmap for action to prevent and improve health.
