نبذة مختصرة : Background: Obesity rates in Swedish children are currently not increasing, however socioeconomic disparities are widening. Many children become obese as early as their preschool years. Hereditary and environmental family-related risk factors are the dominating determinants of child obesity, with parental obesity as the most important. Prevention is a high priority, and increased knowledge on risk factors specifically in high-risk populations is of vital importance for the development of efficient preventive interventions. Aims: The primary aim was to analyse the impact of parental adiposity and parental educational level on child relative weight from infancy to adolescence, in high-risk populations. Further, to assess the associations between infant relative weight and early life factors, infant dietary intake, infant eating behaviours and parental food intake. Also, to validate a questionnaire measuring obesity-related eating behaviours in Swedish preschool children. Finally, the aim was to validate the dietary intake in infants and parents using a biomarker for fat intake. Material and methods: Four child-parent populations were studied: 231 obese children followed longitudinally, from the Swedish National Childhood Obesity Centre in Stockholm (Study I); 197 (Study II) and 193 (Study IV) one-year old infants in high- and low-risk families (determined by parental weight status), participating in Early STOPP (Stockholm Obesity Prevention Project) and recruited from child healthcare in Stockholm County; 174 children 1-6 years old recruited from kindergartens in Stockholm (Study III). Study I: Associations between severity of obesity at age 7 and 15, age at onset of obesity and parental BMI were analysed in obese children, using data from BORIS, the Swedish quality registry for childhood obesity. Study II: Infant relative weight at 3, 6 and 12 months and rapid weight gain 0-6 months were analysed in relation to parental adiposity, parental educational level and early life factors. Study III: A factorial ...
