Abstract Background & Objective: The identification of pediatric obesity predictors in the early stages of life is warranted, as it can influence the development of effective strategies to prevent metabolic disorders. Methods: In this case-control study, we assessed nine risk factors for pediatric obesity, namely a birth weight >4000 grams, an exclusive breastfeeding period <4 months, the introduction of solid food at <4 months, maternal overweight, or obesity before pregnancy, maternal smoking during pregnancy, the presence of gestational diabetes, paternal overweight and obesity, and paternal smoking. In order to identify the most relevant predictors of pediatric obesity, we employed a multiple logistic regression model with R2 cox snell by adjusting confounders. Results: In the randomly selected 509 preschool children from Tehran, children exposed to gestational diabetes had the maximum predicted probability of obesity [4.36 (1.94-9.80) %] among the analyzed risk factors. %]. The introduction of solid food at <4 months of age increased the risk of obesity by 2.98 [1.77-4.97%]. The odds ratio of childhood obesity were associated with maternal overweight and obesity [2.72(1.60-4.60) %], maternal smoking [2.21 (1.18-4.11) %], and excessive gestational weight gain [1.89 (1.23-2.91) %]. Paternal smoking and high birth weight increased the risk of pediatrics obesity >1.8 times [1.15-2.94], and > 1.5 times (1.015-2.43) respectively. There was no association between the paternal body mass index, the exclusive breastfeeding time, and the risk of pediatric obesity. Conclusion: Among early risk factors, probably gestational diabetes can be considered as the most important predictor for the risk of pediatric obesity.
