Background.
Childhood obesity is becoming a global epidemic which may result in increased morbidity and mortality during young adulthood.
Objectives.
To identify factors associated with overweight and that of obesity among Kuwaiti elementary male school children aged 6–10 years.
Methods.
Weights and heights of 662 students at a randomly selected school were collected to obtain body mass index (BMI).
Results.
The prevalence of overweight and obesity among the students were 20.2% and 16.8%, respectively.
There were a variety of factors associated with overweight and obesity; however, having one or more obese brother, an unemployed father, or a high (>11) number of persons living at home was significantly associated with higher risk of overweight and obesity.
