Abstract(s)
The increasing overweight and obesity prevalence among children and adolescents may not only result in life quality prejudice but also increase obesity indexes at adult age. Perinatal factors such birthweight (BW) as well as socioeconomic factors (SES) and cardio respiratory fitness (CRF) have shown different associations with adolescents’ obesity level. Thus, the aims of the present study were to describe the prevalence of overweight/obesity (Ov/ Ob) and, to evaluate the associations of BW, SES and CRF on adolescents body mass index (BMI).
