PG - 392-399 LID - 10.1089/chi.2017.0007 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Obesity is a complex disease that involves both environmental and genetic factors in its pathogenesis. Several studies have identified multiple obesity-associated loci in many populations. However, their contribution to obesity in the Vietnamese population is not fully described, especially in children. The study aimed to investigate the association of obesity with Val66Met polymorphism in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene, delivery method, birth weight, and lifestyle factors in Vietnamese primary school children. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted on 559 children aged 6-11 years (278 obese cases and 281 normal controls). The obesity of the children was classified using both criteria of International Obesity Task Force (IOTF, 2000) and World Health Organization (WHO, 2007). Lifestyle factors, birth delivery, and birth weight of the children were self-reported by parents. The BDNF genotype was analyzed using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Association was evaluated by multivariate logistic regression and cross-validated by the Bayesian model averaging method. RESULTS: The most significantly independent factors for obesity were delivery method (cesarean section vs. vaginal delivery, beta = 0.56, p = 0.007), birth weight (>3500 to <4000 g vs. 2500-3500 g, beta = 0.52, p = 0.035; >/=4000 g vs. 2500-3500 g, beta = 1.06, p = 0.015), night sleep duration (<8 h/day vs. >/=8 h/day, beta = 0.99, p < 0.0001), and BDNF Val66Met polymorphism (AA and GG vs. AG, beta = 0.38, p = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS: The study suggested the significant association of delivery method, birth weight, night sleep duration, and BDNF Val66Met polymorphism, with obesity in Vietnamese primary school children.
