The father's BMI ≥ 23, the child's risk of obesity is 1.49 times higher, the difference is statistically significant (p<0.01). The mother's BMI ≥ 23 also increased the risk of child obesity 2.11 times (p<0.01). Maternal weight gain during pregnancy ≥ 12kg increases the risk of overweight-obesity child  by 1.77 times. Children born by caesarean section had a 1.53-fold higher risk of overweight-obesity than those born vaginally (p<0.01). Children with a birth weight of 3500-4000g have a 1.53 times higher risk of  overweight-obesity compared with children with a birth weight of 2500-3500g (p<0.01). Children who were not breastfed had a 1.59 times higher risk of obesity than breastfed children (p<0.05). Children who were given extra formula milk in the first 6 months had a 1.45 times higher risk of obesity than children who did not drink powdered milk in the first 6 months (p<0.05). Children who eat complementary foods before 6 months have 1.53 times higher risk of obesity than children who eat supplements after 6 months (p<0.01). Children who were weaned before 24 months had a 1.39 times higher risk of TCBP than children who were weaned after 24 months (p<0.05).
