AB  - OBJECTIVES: Understanding the factors related to obesity during childhood allows 
      for improved preventive actions specifically adapted to particular communities. 
      The purpose of this study was to identify individual and familiar factors related 
      to obesity in children. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in an 
      urban community in Argentina during the years 2015-2016. Weight and height were 
      measured on a probabilistic sample of 1366 schoolchildren aged 6 to 12 years. BMI 
      categories were established according to International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) 
      cut-offs. Data were analyzed using multivariate and logistic regression models. 
      Independent variables corresponded to four domains: anthropometric, socioeconomic 
      and demographic, nutritional, and energy balance. RESULTS: Twenty percent of 
      children were categorized as overweight (OW) and 12.2% were obese (OB). Parental 
      IOTF grade was positively associated with childhood OW/OB (father B = 0.421 
      P = 0.000, OR = 1.52, 95% CI 1.24-1.88; mother B = 0.498 P = 0.000, OR = 1.65, 
      95% CI 1.37-1.97). The remaining variables were negatively associated with OW/OB: 
      hours of sleep (B = -0.566 P = 0.001, OR = 0.57, 95% CI 0.41-0.79), physical 
      activity (B = -0.362 P = 0.017, OR = 0.70, 95% CI 0-52-0.94), and daily milk 
      intake (B = -0.178 P = 0.045, OR = 0.84, 95% CI 0.70-0.99). Parental IOTF 
      predicted both OW and OB, while sleep hours predicted OW and physical activity 
      predicted OB. CONCLUSIONS: Family should be considered the initial target for 
      effective strategies to reduce obesity. Like physical activity, the promotion of 
      milk and dairy intake, as well as sleep, may have a major role in obesity 
      reduction because of their protective effects in this community.
