Abstract

Abstract

Objective To explore the relationship between fruit intake and the risk of overweight with obesity in children, so as to provide references for the prevention of childhood obesity. Methods From September to November 2014, a stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 6 369 children aged 6-12 from two elementary schools of a country in rural Chongqing for physical examinations and questionnaire surveys, and 1 814 children in grades 1-2 at baseline were followed up from March to May 2019. The relationship between fruit intake and the prevalence of overweight and obesity was analyzed. Results According to the percentile of fruit intake, the 6 369 children at baseline were assigned to three groups: Q1 (< P_33.3, fruit intake < 100 g/d), Q2 (P_33.3-P_66.7, fruit intake: 100-214.3 g/d), and Q3 (> P_66.7, fruit intake > 214.3 g/d). For the baseline survey results, children in the Q2 group had a lower weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) (P < 0.05); the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children in the Q1 group was the highest (32.03%), and the prevalence of overweight and obesity among boys in the Q2 group was the lowest (31.94%) after gender stratification (P < 0.05). The follow-up survey results showed no significant differences between the three groups in terms of changes in height, weight, and BMI (P > 0.05); but the prevalence of obesity among youth in the Q2 group was the lowest (5.07%, P < 0.05). Compared with youth in the Q2 group, the risk of obesity was higher among those in the Q1 group at baseline survey (OR=1.41, 95%CI=1.10-1.81, P < 0.05), and was higher among those in the Q3 group at follow-up survey (RR=1.83, 95%CI=1.21-2.75, P < 0.05). Conclusion Deviating from moderate fruit intake may increase the likelihood of overweight and obesity in children, and it is recommended that children are encouraged to consume fruits as part of a well-balanced diet to prevent the occurrence of obesity.
