Abstract:

We have undertaken a cohort study of 659 mother-child pairs for the determination of the prevalence and main risk factors of excessive body mass in the children of an Azerbaidjan population aged from 2 to 5 years. The anthropometric calculations were carried out as recommended by the relevant WHO program (Antro). The results of the study give reason to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of excessive body mass in the population of interest at 16.1%. The frequency of excessive body mass in the children delivered via Cesarean section was thrice that in the naturally born children; it was associated with the body weight at birth over 4000 grams and the start on solid foods before the age of 4 months. No relationship was documented between the mode of feeding and excessive body weight after the age above 2 years.
