AB  - OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of childhood overweight and its 
      association with family socio-economic status (SES). METHODS: Data of children 
      aged 7-18 years were extracted from the 1991-2009 China Health and Nutrition 
      Survey. Childhood overweight was defined using criteria proposed by the China and 
      International Obesity Task Force (IOTF). SES was measured with average household 
      income per capita. The associations between SES and childhood body mass index 
      (BMI) and overweight were analyzed by a multivariate linear regression model and 
      a logistic regression model, respectively. RESULTS: A triple increase in 
      household income and prevalence of childhood overweight was found during the 
      period from 1991 to 2009. Increased household income was associated with 
      increased childhood BMI. Children living in a low-income family were less likely 
      to be overweight than those living in a high-income family [odds ratio (OR) = 0. 
      490, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0. 266, 0. 904]. CONCLUSION: Childhood 
      overweight is associated with household income. Family intervention can help 
      control childhood overweight problem in China.
