Introdução: As prevalências de sobrepeso e obesidade vêm crescendo em todo o mundo e em todas as faixas etárias, incluindo crianças e adolescentes. Objetivo: Este estudo buscou determinar a prevalência de excesso de peso e fatores associados em crianças de sete a dez anos. Metodologia: Trata-se de estudo transversal de base escolar com 1.282 crianças (7-10 anos) residentes em Vitória/ES, Brasil. Foram coletados dados antropométricos e analisados de acordo com a recomendação da International Obesity Task Force. Pais e/ou responsáveis forneceram informações sobre hábitos alimentares, atividade física, peso ao nascer e sobre alimentação de seus filhos, dados socioeconômicos e parentais. Resultados: 23,3% da amostra apresentaram excesso de peso (15,3% sobrepeso + 8% obesidade). Após análise multivariada, constatou-se que ser filho único (RC 1,73, IC95% 1,09-2,75), macrossômico (RC 3,45 IC95% 1,34-8,84) e ter pai com sobrepeso (RC 1,87, IC95% 1,21-2,89) aumentaram o risco para o excesso de peso, enquanto nível de escolaridade superior materno o diminuiu (RC 0,38, IC95% 0,19-0,78). Conclusão: A prevalência de excesso de peso encontrada é alta e similar às observadas em países desenvolvidos, mostrando-se fortemente associada à estrutura familiar, portanto medidas adotadas em fases precoces da vida e focadas na família são determinantes para a redução do excesso de peso.
