摘要：The prevalence of early childhood overweight has increased dramatically in developing countries such as India. Lifestyle factors and socioeconomic status have been linked to the increasing prevalence of overweight in older children. The present study aimed to examine the predictors of overweight among children 2.0. Dietary fat intake of the index child significantly increased the risk of childhood overweight. The study findings suggest the need to target nutrition and health programs toward the urban affluent households and educated women to prevent the onset of overweight during early childhood.
