obesity and absence of physical activity in childhood to the socio-economic context of neighbourhood of residence. The article evaluated whether socio-economic environment and obesity and physical inactivity in children factors are related causes of household socio-economic position and area facilities. They had two indicators of the socio-economic context of neighborhood of residence based on wealth and deprivation. They were estimated in a sample of 727 children and adolescents residents in Madrid. The results were that the obesity prevalence was 3.79 times higher in areas of living in deprived areas than among those living in non-deprived areas and 2.38 higher among subjects living in less wealthy areas than in those living in wealthier areas. The availability of retail shops in subjects’ neighborhood of residence were not related to the inactivity.Neither neighborhood socio-economic context nor availability of sports facilities was related to physical inactivity. In Madrid socio-economic context of neighborhood of residence shows a relationship with obesity but not with physical inactivity among children.

I believe that the household is one hundred percent responsible for obesity in young children, because at that young age the home is all you know and where you spend most of your time.
