Higher socioeconomic status is related to healthier levels of fatness and fitness already at 3 to 5 years of age: The PREFIT project: Relation between socioeconomic status, fatness and fitness in preschoolers 2018 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This study aimed to analyse the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and fatness and fitness in preschoolers. 2, 638 preschoolers (3–5 years old; 47.2% girls) participated. SES was estimated from the parental educational and occupational levels, and the marital status. Fatness was assessed by body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Physical fitness components were assessed using the PREFIT battery. Preschoolers whose parents had higher educational levels had lower fatness (P < 0.05). BMI significantly differed across occupational levels of each parent (P < 0.05) and WHtR across paternal levels (P = 0.004). Musculoskeletal fitness was different across any SES factor (P < 0.05), except handgrip across paternal occupational levels (P = 0.05). Preschoolers with high paternal occupation had higher speed/agility (P = 0.005), and those with high or low maternal education had higher VO2max (P = 0.046). Odds of being obese and having low musculoskeletal fitness was lower as SES was higher (P < 0.05). Those with married parents had higher cardiorespiratory fitness than single-parent ones (P = 0.010). School-based interventions should be aware of that children with low SES are at a higher risk of obesity and low fitness already in the first years of life. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/FPU14-06837 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/BES-2014-068829 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/RYC-2011-09011 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 2.811 2018 SPORT SCIENCES 20 / 83 = 0.241 2018 Q1 T1 1.227 2018 Orthopedics and Sports Medicine 2018 Q1 Sports Science 2018 Q1 Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Mora-Gonzalez, J.
