A Secondary Analysis of the Cross-Sectional Data Available in the ‘Welsh Health Survey for Children’ to Identify Risk Factors Associated with Childhood Obesity in Wales.
Presented by :Claire BeynonSupervisor :Professor David Fone, Cardiff University
Claire Beynon
Why is childhood obesity a problem?• Prevalence of childhood obesity in Wales 12%.• Impacts on both quality and quantity of life.• Immediate effects:
low self esteem; bullying; depression; type II diabetes.
• Long term effects:Premature mortality; adult morbidity.
• Obesity costs £73 million per annum in Wales.

The Data Choice in the UK
• Childhood Measurement Programme• Millennium Cohort Study• Welsh Health Survey• English Health Survey• Collecting new data
Claire Beynon
Welsh Health Survey
• Adult Survey• Children's Survey• Geography• Question development• Sampling frame• Sampling technique• Response rate

Research Question• What are the important risk factors for childhood
obesity for children aged 4 to 15 years in Wales?
Research Objectives• Identify and quantify cross-sectional associations
between obesity in children in Wales aged 4-15 years and the risk factors available in the Welsh Health Survey.
• Make recommendations for policy where appropriate.

Study Design
• Secondary Analysis of Data from the WHS.
• Dataset included n=11,279 children (aged 4-15 years) between 2008 and 2011.
• Descriptive statistics, and logistic regression.
Claire Beynon
Risk Factors• Socio-demographic/socioeconomic variables:
Sex, age, National Statistics Social Classification (NSSEC), housing tenure and Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD).
• Lifestyle variables: Unhealthy food consumption; sugar sweetened beverages; physical activity (PA) levels
• Illness: Currently treated illnesses.

Odds RatiosHow to calculate:OR = Odds of exposure in cases
Odds of exposure in control
How to interpret: • OR>1 increased risk• OR=1 no difference• OR<1 decreased risk• Confidence intervals, if they cross 1 not significant

Differences from CMP data
Claire Beynon
Strengths of the study
• WHS uses stratified random sampling.• Results for 3000 children achieved per annum.• Good response rate at 75%.• Known confounding accounted for by use of multivariable
analysis.• Provides new insights into existing data.• Information from Wales on which to base Welsh policy.
Claire Beynon
Limitations of the study
• Risk of bias, e.g. recall bias; reporting of food consumption and physical activity reporting. Non response bias.
• Reverse causality possible due to study design.• Selection bias, private homes surveyed (not
institutions).• Unknown confounding possible (not all risk factors
measured).• Interactions not explored.
Claire Beynon
Conclusions• Some risk factors associated with childhood obesity
are not modifiable (e.g. sex and age of the child). • Some risk factors are not easily modifiable in the short
term, e.g. the circumstances of the family (NS-SEC classification of the parent and housing tenure).
• Two findings are potentially more easily modifiable:
– the association between childhood obesity and not meeting the PA recommendations
– the NHS response to the care planning of children with a long term condition.
Claire Beynon
Recommendations• Increase physical activity in schools to an hour a day,
so all children have levels of PA that protect them from obesity without increasing inequalities in health.
• Utilise the CMP feedback to provide advice on relevant physical activity options that are affordable and accessible e.g. green spaces; walks; free swimming.
• Ensure all children with a long term condition get help to avoid or manage obesity through an holistic care package.
