full_text_status: public
abstract: This thesis is about the influence of maternal smoking during pregnancy on the risk of childhood obesity among German children. To provide answers, quantitative data from the KiGGS baseline study is used. The findings indicate that the risk of childhood obesity is almost twice as high when mothers did smoke during pregnancy compared to mothers that did not smoke during pregnancy. The sex of a child did not affect the relationship between childhood obesity and maternal smoking, however, the age of the child and socioeconomic status of the mothers did. The older a child the more likely it is that the child is obese and has a mother that smoked during pregnancy. Socioeconomic status turns out to have an influence on the relationship between maternal smoking during pregnancy and childhood obesity as well. However, it depends on the different components of socioeconomic status to what extent it influences the relationship.
