Introduction: Paternal smoking associated with childhood overweight and obesity has been a concern, but studies have not investigated smoking exposure and smoking details. We investigated the association of exposures from paternal smoking as well as smoking details on offspring overweight/obesity. Methods: A total of 4513 children (aged 7-8 years) in Shenzhen were enrolled. Four different exposures from paternal smoking as well as smoking quantity, duration of smoking and age of starting smoking details were the exposure variables and demographic characteristics, circumstances of birth, dietary intake, lifestyle and nonpaternal smoking exposure were covariates in logistic regression analysis to determine the effect of paternal smoking on childhood overweight/obesity, estimating odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Paternal smoking was positively associated with childhood overweight/obesity (p0.05). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that paternal smoking is associated with boys’ overweight/obesity, and this association may due to the paternal smoking exposure before conception rather than the post-natal exposure to paternal smoking. Reducing paternal smoking exposure before conception might help reduce overweight/obesity in boys.
