AB  - OBJECTIVE: To compare the prevalence of overweight or obesity (ow/ob) with WHO 
      BMI cut-off points, International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) cut-off points and 
      Chinese BMI criteria and examine its potential factors among preschool children 
      in Hunan Province. DESIGN: A cross-sectional survey including anthropometric 
      measurements and questionnaires about children's information, caregivers' 
      socio-demographic characteristics and maternal characteristics. chi2 tests and 
      univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression were performed to evaluate 
      the possible factors of ow/ob. SETTING: Hunan, China, from September to October 
      2019. PARTICIPANTS: In total, 7664 children 2 to 6 years of age. RESULTS: 
      According to Chinese BMI criteria, about 1 in 7-8 children aged 2-6 years had 
      ow/ob in Hunan, China. The overall estimated prevalence of ow/ob among 2- to 
      6-year-old children was significantly higher when based on the Chinese BMI 
      criteria compared with the WHO BMI cut-off points and IOTF cut-off points. 
      According to Chinese BMI criteria, ow/ob was associated with residing in urban 
      areas, older age, male sex, eating snacking food more frequently, macrosomia 
      delivery, caesarean birth, heavier maternal prepregnancy weight and pre-delivery 
      weight. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of ow/ob in preschool children in Hunan 
      Province remains high. More ow/ob children could be screened out according to 
      Chinese BMI cut-offs compared with WHO and IOTF BMI criteria. In the future, 
      targeted intervention studies with matched controls will be needed to assess the 
      long-term effects of intervention measures to provide more information for 
      childhood obesity prevention and treatment.
