Abstract
This study was conducted to determine family factors related to obesity of high school students. A descriptive correlational study was conducted with 384 high school students in I metropolitan city. Data were collected from February to April of 2015 using self-report structured questionnaires. Questionnaires included weight, height, individual characteristics of subjects and their familial characteristics. Collected data were analyzed by multiple logistic regression. Logistic regression analysis revealed that male gender (aOR = 4.37; 95% CI [1.26, 15.16]), having a non-regular paternal job (aOR = 3.10; 95% CI [1.15, 8.40]), and not being in a two parent family (aOR = 3.52; 95% CI [1.29, 9.61]) were statistically significant contributors to obesity. These results indicate that it is necessary to improve social awareness regarding the obesity risk of male adolescents. Health care providers should recognize the importance of family factors such as parental socioeconomic status and family structures.
