Objective To analyse the association between family structure and adiposity in children. Design Cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis of the IDEFICS (Identification and prevention of dietary- and lifestyle-induced health effects in children and infants) study cohort. Setting Primary schools and kindergartens. Subjects Children ( n 12 350; aged 7·9 ( sd 1·8) years) for the cross-sectional analysis and children ( n 5236; at baseline: normal weight, aged 5·9 ( sd 1·8) years) for the longitudinal study underwent anthropometry. Family structure was analysed as (i) number and type of cohabiting adults and (ii) number of siblings. Results In the cross-sectional analysis, after controlling for covariates, children living with grandparents had significantly higher BMI Z -score than those living with both parents (0·63; 95 % CI 0·33, 0·92 v . 0·19; 95 % CI 0·17, 0·22; P Z -score (only child = 0·31; 95 % CI 0·24, 0·38; 1 sibling = 0·19; 95 % CI 0·16, 0·23; 2 siblings = 0·15; 95 % CI 0·09, 0·20; >2 siblings = 0·07, 95 % CI 0·04, 0·19; P v . only child: 1 sibling = 0·74, 95 % CI 0·57, 0·96; 2 siblings = 0·63, 95 % CI 0·45, 0·88; >2 siblings = 0·40, 95 % CI 0·21, 0·77), independently of confounders. Conclusions The study suggests that an independent association between family structure and childhood obesity exists
