AB  - OBJECTIVES: We sought to explore 25-year trends of gender disparity in the 
      prevalence of obesity and overweight both in urban and rural areas among Chinese 
      children from 1985 to 2010. METHODS: Data included 1 280 239 children aged 
      7-18 years enrolled in the Chinese National Survey on Students's Constitution and 
      Health (CNSSCH), which is the largest nationally representative sample of 
      school-aged children in China. Obesity and overweight were defined according to 
      both WHO and the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) definitions. Logistic 
      regression was used to estimate the prevalence OR (POR) of gender for obesity and 
      overweight prevalence in different surveys. RESULTS: The prevalence of obesity 
      increased (WHO definition: from 0.10% to 4.3%; IOTF definition: from 0.03% to 
      2.2%) over the past 25 years in urban and rural areas among Chinese children and 
      it was much higher among boys than girls at each survey point (p<0.01). The 
      increasing trend was significant in all age subgroups (p<0.01). Although the 
      prevalence of obesity continuously increased in boys and girls, the changing pace 
      was more rapid in boys than in girls. PORs of boys versus girls for obesity also 
      increased over time, and the estimates of PORs were higher in urban areas than in 
      rural areas at each survey point. CONCLUSIONS: The gradually increasing gender 
      disparity in urban and rural areas suggests that the prevalence of obesity and 
      overweight in boys, and especially in urban boys, contributes to a large and 
      growing proportion of obese and overweight children.
