1. A qualitative study based on interviews with parents, grandparents 90% of children <6yr in Beijing are only child >50% of children in urban China are cared for
by grandparents Sample: 12 parents, 11 grandparents; majority
women; 13 had an obese child Grandparents were the primary caregivers in 3-
generation families They believed that heavy eating early in
childhood made children strong and protected their health and nutrition
They expressed love with food They used food rewards as educational and
emotional tools

2. Determinants of overweight in infants in BeijingA cross-sectional study of
anthropometry among 4654 children aged 1–35 months in twelve communities in Beijing
Interviews among a subsample of 215 families with overweight and 215 with normal weight children
The overall prevalence of overweight was 4.7%
![Page 7: Studies on obesity in Chinese children in Beijing and Chinese adults in Sweden](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cd4550346895db9d888/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2 (cont)Parental overweight and low parental
education were slightly more common in families with overweight children
Overweight children were more likely to have been introduced to infant formula and semi-solid foods during the first 4 months
They were also breastfed for a shorter period of time
![Page 8: Studies on obesity in Chinese children in Beijing and Chinese adults in Sweden](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cd4550346895db9d888/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
3. Risk factors in children 2-6Cross-sectional study of 930 families with
2- to 6-year-old children in five kindergartens
Families were randomly selected from two of all six urban districts in Beijing
Data were obtained from parental self-report forms
The overall prevalence of overweight and obesity was 10.7% and 4.2%, respectively, increasing with age
![Page 9: Studies on obesity in Chinese children in Beijing and Chinese adults in Sweden](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cd4550346895db9d888/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Risk factors, cont.After adjusting for sex, age, family income
and kindergarten (for cluster study design), child overweight was associated with: parental overweight (Odds Ratio [OR] 2.43,
95% CI 0.78, 6.59) low maternal education level (OR 2.22, 95%
CI 1.39, 3.55)food restriction (OR 2.68, 95% CI 1.64, 4.29),television watching >2h/d (OR 1.56, 95% CI
1.17, 2.09)

4. A two year family based behaviour treatment for obese children
68 obese children in grades 7-9 from a single school in Beijing were randomly assigned to a control group or to a family based behavioral treatment program for two years
Components of the intervention included: Behavior modification for one or two
behaviors at a time per child Children kept a diary, monitored by parents Monthly home visits by researchers PE teachers provided an extra 2 hours of
exercise per week

5. The effects of a 3-year obesity intervention in schoolchildren in Beijing
Five primary schools were selected randomly in the Beijing urban area
Two were allocated to the intervention group and three to the control group
Each group of schools was located in two different districts
1029 children in intervention schools and 1396 children in control schools took part
Focused both on treatment and prevention

InterventionNutrition education from lead
researcher to collected parents once per semester (attendance >90%)
Educational materials on childhood obesity prevention were distributed to all the parents
Teachers were trained in the use of a special text book to give one classroom lesson on obesity per fortnight
![Page 15: Studies on obesity in Chinese children in Beijing and Chinese adults in Sweden](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cd4550346895db9d888/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Intervention cont.Extra meetings were held with
parents of obese children once per semester (attendance >74%)
Separate meetings for obese children once per semester (>80% attendance)
Meetings involved lectures, group discussion, Q&A, experience sharing
20 minutes of monitored running 4 days a week (50-70% attendance)

Changes in Factors that influenced dietary habits after coming to Sweden
![Page 30: Studies on obesity in Chinese children in Beijing and Chinese adults in Sweden](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/56814cd4550346895db9d888/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Determinants of Dietary Change Women decreased lard consumption more
than men (68 vs 35%) People living with someone else increased
consumption of poultry and fruit more than those living alone
Those with higher income ate more fruit and cheese but less legumes
Those who had lived longer in Sweden increased fruit consumption more
Those who most increased their fruit consumption were more likely to have gained weight after coming to Sweden
