AB  - The aim of this study was to evaluate whether dietary fibres intake is associated 
      with childhood obesity. From 2014 to 2016, a sample of 1728 Greek boys and girls 
      students, 10-12 years and their parents were enrolled in the study. Dietary 
      fibres intake was assessed through food questionnaires and child's body mass 
      status was defined according to the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF)'s 
      criteria. Prevalence of combined overweight/obesity was 26.7%, with boys having 
      significantly higher prevalence than girls (31.5 versus 24.7%, p < 0.001). 
      Logistic regression analysis, after various adjustments were made, revealed no 
      association between dietary fibres intake and obesity/overweight (Odds Ratio = 
      0.76; 95% CI 0.48, 1.19). The lack of an association between dietary fibres 
      intake and overweight/obesity status among pre-adolescents could be attributed to 
      various reasons such as, methodological issues reflecting the study's design, the 
      measurement of exposure or due to true absence of a relationship. Nevertheless, 
      fibres consumption should not be prevented, but, promoted under the context of a 
      balanced diet, because of their numerous pleiotropic health effects.
