Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; IOTF, International Obesity Taskforce; MCL, minimum cost of living; KNHANES, Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Adjusted for child's gender, age, region of residence (large city, small city, rural), highest education of adult in household (⩾12 years vs <12 years) and household income (⩾250% minimum cost of living, 120–250% minimum cost of living, <120% minimum cost of living).
Defined as overweight or obesity, BMI ⩾25 kg m−2 using IOTF cutoff points.
Values in bold indicate statistical significance, P<0.05, based on the 95% CI.
Calculated values based on MCL of each year. A family is considered poor if its income falls below MCL determined by government as poverty guideline.
Large city: cities with population size bigger than a million; small city: cities with population size 50 000 to a million; rural: villages and towns with population size smaller than 50 000.
