[article]  inJournal of Pediatric Nursing > Vol.37 No.6 (Nov-Dec) 2017 [03/29/2018] . - p.8-12 Title : Social Determinants of Overweight and Obesity Rates : Elementary School in a Predominantly Hispanic School District Material Type: printed text Authors: Santom, Richard, Author ; Huerta, Gabriel, Author ; Kark, Menuka, Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: p.8-12 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Keywords: Hispanics, Overweight and obesity, Social determinants, Elementary school Abstract: Objective This study analyzes the social determinants associated with the overweight or obesity prevalence of 85 elementary schools during the 2010–11 academic year in a predominantly Hispanic school district. Methods A binomial logistic regression is used to analyze the aggregate overweight or obesity rate of a school by the percent of Hispanic students in each school, selected school and neighborhood characteristics, and its geographical location. Results The proportion of Hispanic enrollment more readily explains a school's aggregate overweight or obesity rate than social determinants or spatial location. Number of fast food establishments and the academic ranking of a school appear to slightly impact the aggregate prevalence rate. Spatial location of school is not a significant factor, controlling for other determinants. Conclusions An elementary school's overall overweight or obesity rate provides a valuable health indicator to study the social determinants of obesity among Hispanics and other students within a local neighborhood.
