Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children enrolled in a unit of the Family Health Strategy. Methods: This descriptive, quantitative, and cross-sectional study included 134 children aged 7–10 years. The children’s body mass indexes were calculated, and they were administered questionnaires on eating habits and physical activity. SPSS version 19 was used in the statistical analyses of the data, and the following were calculated: mean, standard deviation, frequency, t and chi-square test values, and prevalence odds ratio with 95% confidence interval. The relative importance of the factors studied affecting the risk of the child being overweight or obese was measured by adjusting the logistic regression model. Results: A total of 86 children of both sexes were evaluated. Among girls, 17.5% were overweight and 25% were obese, and among boys, 4.3% were overweight and 13% were obese (p = 0.061). Among children enrolled in private schools, 18.8% of children were overweight and 37.5% were obese, while in the public schools, 8.6% were overweight and 14.3% were obese (p = 0.058). The other variables were not statistically significant after applying the logistic regression model. Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of overweight and obesity in the population, especially among girls enrolled in private schools.Downloads
