Kondisi lingkungan fisik dan lama waktu bermain di luar rumah dengan kegemukan pada anak prasekolah
Abstract: The prevalence of
childhood obesity in Yogyakarta Municipality has increased in recent years. The
built environment of which are not designed properly may limit the time for
children's outdoor activity.
Objective: This study tried to investigate the links between parents
perceptions of their built environment with outdoor playing time and obesity
among preschool children in Yogyakarta Municipality.
Method: This is a case-control study. Cases were identified as obese
preschoolers (Z score based on W / H> 2 SD) and controls were children who
were not obese (Z score based on W / H ≤ 2 SD) and matched by sex and age. Data
were collected in the Yogyakarta Municipality. Samples were selected using
multistage sampling method. The sample of cases and controls were 101 people
(1: 1), respectively. conditional logistic regression statistical tests were
performed to identify the risk factors for preschool obesity.
Results: Children who did not play outdoors enough time were at higher
risk of becoming obese (OR = 2,27, CI (1,14-4,62)); Built environment seems to
be a modifier for outdoor playing time that will impact the odds of obesity
among preschool children.
Conclusion: Preschool children who played outdoor less than 2 hours had a
higher risk of becoming obese. Outdoor playing time was associated with built
environment.
