This study examines unhealthy weight among children in Spain and the role of the home environment therein. Data are from a 2010 national survey of families with children. We examined unhealthy weight among children ages 5-10 years using the WHO Child Growth Standards and used multivariate logistic regression to assess associations with family characteristics. Results: There was a high prevalence of unhealthy weight, with only 46% of children at normal weight. Both underweight and obesity were higher among boys (14%; 22%) than girls (13%; 12%). Underweight and obesity were higher among children of mothers with obesity and those with unemployed parents. Obesity was higher among children of mothers who were less educated (35%) and among children of immigrants (19%). We find high levels of unhealthy weight in children, with both underweight and obesity being predicted by the same family environment characteristics. 2019-05-03T11:22:13Z 2019-05-03T11:22:13Z 2018-08 2019-05-03T11:22:14Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 1756-0500 https://hdl.handle.net/2445/132635 689914 30111360 eng Reproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1186/s13104-018-3665-2 BMC Research Notes, 2018, vol. 11, p. 591 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13104-018-3665-2 cc-by (c) Vaquera, Elizabeth et al., 2018 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess application/pdf BioMed Central Articles publicats en revistes (Sociologia)
