We searched CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Web of Science databases from their inception until 27 February 2019 including cross-sectional studies and baseline measurements of cohort studies with overweight and obesity defined according to the International Obesity Task Force criteria. Both the inverse-variance fixed-effects method and the DerSimonian and Laird random effects method were used to determinate pooled prevalence estimates and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A total of 32 studies (n = 197,755 children) with data from 27 European countries were included. Overall, the pooled prevalence estimates of overweight\/obesity in European children (aged 2\u20137 years) during the period 2006\u20132016 was 17.9% (95% CI: 15.8\u201320.0), and the pooled prevalence estimate of obesity was 5.3% (95% CI: 4.5\u20136.1). Southern European countries showed the highest prevalence of excess weight. Additional measures to address the obesity epidemic in early life should be established, especially in European countries where the prevalence of excess weight is very high.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu11071698","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,23]],"date-time":"2019-07-23T10:44:51Z","timestamp":1563878691000},"page":"1698","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":89,"title":["Prevalence of Overweight and Obesity among European Preschool Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression by Food Group Consumption"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Miriam","family":"Garrido-Miguel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Estudios Socio-Sanitarios, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, 16071 Cuenca, Spain"}]},{"given":"Andreia","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EPIUnit\u2013Instituto de Sa\u00fade P\u00fablica da Universidade do Porto (Institute of Public Health, University of Porto), 4050-091 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Public Health and Forensic Sciences and Medical Education, Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, 4200-319 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Iv\u00e1n","family":"Cavero-Redondo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Estudios Socio-Sanitarios, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, 16071 Cuenca, Spain"},{"name":"Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica y Art\u00edstica del Paraguay, Asunci\u00f3n 1101, Paraguay"}]},{"given":"Celia","family":"\u00c1lvarez-Bueno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Estudios Socio-Sanitarios, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, 16071 Cuenca, Spain"},{"name":"Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica y Art\u00edstica del Paraguay, Asunci\u00f3n 1101, Paraguay"}]},{"given":"Diana P","family":"Pozuelo-Carrascosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Estudios Socio-Sanitarios, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, 16071 Cuenca, Spain"}]},{"given":"Alba","family":"Soriano-Cano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Estudios Socio-Sanitarios, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, 16071 Cuenca, Spain"}]},{"given":"Vicente","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Vizca\u00edno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Estudios Socio-Sanitarios, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, 16071 Cuenca, Spain"},{"name":"Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Chile, Talca 3467987, Chile"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"766","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(14)60460-8","article-title":"Global, regional, and national prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adults during 1980\u20132013: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013","volume":"384","author":"Ng","year":"2014","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1257","DOI":"10.3945\/ajcn.2010.29786","article-title":"Global prevalence and trends of overweight and obesity among preschool children","volume":"92","author":"Borghi","year":"2010","journal-title":"Am.
