AB  - Background: Surveillance of childhood obesity is essential to guide preventive 
      policies and interventions.Aim: To analyse trends in overweight and obesity by 
      socioeconomic status (SES) in Argentinian schoolchildren during the last 
      decade.Subjects and methods: Two cross-sectional studies in schoolchildren aged 
      6-12 years were compared. The first study was conducted in 2005/07 (n = 1418) and 
      the second one in 2015/16 (n = 1366). Overweight and obesity were estimated by 
      the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) cut-offs. The type of school 
      (public/private) and parental education level were used as measures of SES. Data 
      were analysed by linear and logistic regression with survey year, type of school, 
      parental education level, and sex as independent variables.Results: From 2005 to 
      2016 overweight and obesity increased by 7.3% and 5.0%, respectively. The change 
      was significantly higher in boys (9.6% and 8.3%) and girls (9.6% and 5.4%) from 
      public schools, and in children whose fathers had low (10% and 8.3%) and middle 
      (9.0% and 5.5%) education levels. No significant changes were found in children 
      attending private school or those whose fathers had a higher education 
      level.Conclusions: Obesity is still increasing in this population. SES 
      disparities are strongly associated with this trend, with stabilisation in 
      children from high SES.
