Abstract:

Objective

To screen the prevalence of simple obesity in Uyghur children in Hotan, Xinjiang, and explore its risk factors, so as to provide evidence for the tertiary prevention of simple obesity.

Methods

Taking 5 308 students aged 4~18 in primary, secondary and kindergarten in Hotan as the research object. The survey methods included questionnaire survey, height, weight, waist circumference and hip circumference measurement.

Results

240 (4.63%) students were found to be overweight or obese, and there was statistically significant difference between boys and girls (P=0.004). The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 3.66% in the 4 ~ 6 years old group and 5.07% in the 7 ~ 18 years old group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=5.009, P=0.025). The factors related to the weight of Uygur children include age, sex, breakfast, dietary habit, daily sleep time, daily physical exercise time, and time for using electronic products. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Gender (female), family history of obesity and frequency of eating Western fast food were risk factors of obesity, while vegetable preference, daily sleep time and weekly physical exercise time were protective factors.

Conclusions

The prevalence of overweight and obesity in Uygur children in Hotan area of Xinjiang is low. Gender (female), family history of obesity and frequency of eating western fast food were risk factors for obesity.
