          Abstract

          Abstract Introduction: Childhood obesity is a recognized public health problem. The present work reports the changing prevalence of childhood overweight/obesity in Spanish boys and girls over the period 1993-2011, and examines the risk factors apparent in 2011. Methods: Children with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥ 25 were deemed overweight, and those with a BMI of ≥ 30 were deemed obese. Overweight and obesity was consistently more common among boys than among girls. Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in Spain increased over the study period. Conclusions: According to the 2011 data, children who undertook no physical activity, or whose parents/guardians had a low level of education, showed the highest prevalence of obesity.

          Resumen Introducción: la obesidad infantil es un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir la evolución de la prevalencia de sobrepeso/obesidad infantil en niños y niñas durante el periodo 1993-2011 y analizar cuáles son los factores de riesgo asociados, utilizando la Encuesta Nacional de Salud (ENS) de 2011. Métodos: los niños con índice de masa corporal (IMC) ≥ 25 se consideraron con sobrepeso y aquellos con IMC ≥ 30, como obesos. Se hizo uso de la ENS desde 1993 a 2011. Resultados: la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad en España aumentó durante el periodo de estudio. La prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad fue más elevada en niños que en niñas. Conclusiones: según los datos de 2011, los niños que no realizaban ningún tipo de actividad física o cuyos padres tenían un nivel de educación bajo mostraron la mayor prevalencia de obesidad.

              The effect of breastfeeding on childhood overweight and obesity: a systematic review of the literature.

              Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions. There is increasing attention to the topic of prevention and continued debate as to whether breastfeeding (BF) is protective against childhood obesity. Previous systematic reviews on this topic were done in 2005 showing that BF was protective against childhood obesity but, because of confounding variables, the evidence was weak.
