AB  - OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to assess the prevalence of obesity and the related 
      behavioral risk factors among children in Beijing. METHODS: Data were collected 
      as part of a 2004 comprehensive study on obesity and metabolic syndrome among 21 
      198 children, aged 2-18 years old in Beijing. Four local and international 
      references for the classification of childhood overweight and obesity were 
      compared. RESULTS: The combined prevalence of obesity and overweight among 
      children, aged 2-18 years old, was 18.7%, 21.4%, and 20.1% based on the 
      International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) reference, new World Health Organization 
      (WHO) growth standard, and the US 2000 Center for Disease Control and Prevention 
      Growth Charts, respectively; and it was 21.7%, according to the local Chinese 
      body mass index (BMI) reference for school-age children (aged 7-18 years). 
      Physical inactivity, less sleep duration, higher consumption of alcohol, snack 
      food and Western fast food and more screen time were associated with overweight 
      and obesity (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Over 20% of children and adolescents in 
      Beijing are overweight or obese. Effort should be made to combat the growing 
      obesity epidemic.
