This study examined the effect of children’s flourishing on the pandemic of obesity from various aspects such as age, gender, race, family, school, and community. By using a subsample of the 2011–2012 Nation-al Survey of Children’s Health, the Flourishing scale analyses were per-formed with a total of 45,309 children. Childhood obesity was diagnosed by calculating the percentile of the body mass index. Hispanic Ameri-cans were more likely to be overweight (P<0.01). Nonoverweight chil-dren were more likely to participate in after-school activities, less likely to have sedentary behavior, more likely to miss school, to be more ac-tive, and had more of flourishing than their counterpart (P<0.01). Par-ent’s marital and health status also positively affect children’s obesity status (P<0.01). Social capital and neighbor amenities significantly af-fect children’s weight status (P<0.01). A multifaceted understanding of the role of family, school, and community (with proving children’s flour-ishing environment) in terms of how and what could contribute to chil-dren’s obesity status is important in order to bring about positive impact.
