Abstract
Our study identified individual child and parental factors, and living in a multiple dwelling as the strongest predictors for overweight in preschool aged children. However, perceived annoyance to built environmental exposures additionally explained overweight variance between neighbourhoods. Based on our findings interventions and policies addressing overweight prevention in young children should focus on parental behaviours and the immediate home environment.
