Objectives: To identify the association between overweight/obesity and acute respiratory infections (ARI) with fever in Peruvian children younger than 5 years of age, according to the BCG vaccination status in 2015-2019. Methodology: Cross-sectional secondary study of the Peruvian Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES, in Spanish) 2015-2019. The study population was children <60 months of age. According to the WHO, overweight and obesity were measured based on weight-for-height Z-score > +2SD and > +3SD, respectively. Respiratory infection with fever was constructed from the presence of fever and any of the following symptoms in the last 14 days: fast and short breathing, breathing difficulty, and cough. A generalized linear regression model (GLM) of the Log family and Poisson log link was changed and stratified according to BCG vaccination, reporting the results in the form of RP in a crude and adjusted model. Results: In the adjusted multivariate analysis, stratified with BCG vaccination, children with overweight/obesity had 15% less probability of contracting ARI with fever compared to those who were not overweight or obese (PRa 0.85 CI95 0.78 to 0.94 p=0.001). In the adjusted model without BCG vaccination, children with overweight/obesity had 5% less probability of developping ARI with fever compared to those who were not overweight or obese (PRa 0.95 CI95 0.61 to 1.48 p=0.827). Conclusion: Overweight/obesity in children younger than 5 years of age who were vaccinated with BCG is associated with a lower probability of acute respiratory infection with fever.
