description Introduction: A widespread and significant problem in pediatric medicine, kidney and urinary tract stones are becoming more common as a result of sedentary lifestyles, poor diets, wrong fluid intake patterns, and improper medication use. Materials and Methods: Children referred to Ardabil City's Kowsar Clinic received sonography and a clinical assessment. In this investigation, 91 children with normal sonography were chosen as the control group, and 91 children with kidney stones identified by sonography were chosen as the case group. The association between kidney stones and BMI was examined analytically using logistic single and multiple-variable regression models, and the odds ratio was shown. Results: 182 people were analyzed in this study, 50% in the case group and 50% in the control group. Children had one stone at the highest rate (57.1%). According to the multiple variable logistic model, the body mass index has an odds ratio of 0.99. Additionally, a statistically significant gender study revealed that women are 2.29 times more likely than men to have kidney stones. Furthermore, compared to children over ten, children under five have a 4.14-fold increased risk of kidney stones, according to age analysis. Conclusion: These findings indicate that kidney stones and body mass index do not significantly correlate. Kidney stones are more likely to occur in girls than in boys, and in children younger than five.
