Furthermore, literature clearly demonstrates that there is an association between parents and children obesity prevalence supported by the share of the genetic and obesogenic environment. However, there is a significant lack of knowledge, regarding the onset age of the clinical expression of obesity in children.Obes Facts 2017;10(suppl 1):1–259 Abstracts240Methods: This study was based in epaci Portugal 2012 (Estudo do Padrão Alimentar e de Crescimento na Infância) (Childhood Feeding and Growth Patterns Study), a national representative study, with a mixed design (cross sectional between 12–36 months and retrospective cohort since birth), involving 2230 children, which took place between May 2012 and June 2013. A study protocol were applied which includes, weight (g) and length (cm) at birth, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months, gathered from in-dividual child health bulletin and at evaluation. Body Mass Index (bmi) Z-score was calculated and classified according to who reference values. Self-reported parents´anthropometric data were collected and respective bmi were calculated and classified according who cut-offs. Mother weight gain during pregnancy was also collected.Binary Logistic regression mod-els were fitted to quantify the association between parental and children nutritional status.Results: 60% of the fathers and 37.6% of the mothers were overweight (ow) from those 14.9% and 12.2% are obese (ob) respectively. Prevalence of “risk of ow” (risk-ow) (zsBMI>1) in children was 32.6%, with no signif-icant differences between 2nd and 3rd year of life, increasing from 14.6% to 24.7% and 25.1% since birth to 12 and 24 months, respectively. 53.1% and 46.6% of mothers with pre-pregnancy ow and ob, increased weight above recommendation during pregnancy. Pre-pregnancy and current mother bmi are significantly associated with children risk-ow at all ages from birth until evaluation moment. Children of obese mothers were more prone to be on risk-ow at birth [1.72 (1.24; 2.40)], 6 months [1.53 (1.07; 2.18)] and 12 months [1.79 (1.32; 2.42)]. Gestational weight gain above recommendations increased the risk-ow at 12 months [1.30 (1.00; 1.67)]. Father’s nutritional status was not significantly associated with in-fants’ nutritional status.Conclusion: A high prevalence of overweight/obesity was observed in Portuguese toddlers, since early age. Pre-pregnancy bmi and gestational weight gain in mothers were associated with bmi of their offspring. Urgent and earlier effective interventions are needed in order to stop the trans-generational transmission of obesity.None Conflict of InterestFunding: Milupa Danone Early Life Nutrition funded Epaci Portugal 2012, the study where this paper is grounded
