摘要
This study uses logistic regressions to consider the effect of social factors, physical activity, meal frequency and BMI of parents on children's body mass index (BMI) values. Three thousand three hundred and sixty-two children aged 7-11 years were examined in 38 schools in the Czech Republic. Six anthropometric characteristics were assessed in 1999-2000. Most important factors influencing children's BMI values were: obesity of both or at least one of the parents, being an only child, residence in small communities, and irregular breakfasts.
