Abstract

BACKGROUND: To determine the prevalence of OVERWEIGHT and OBESITY among a sample of middle class junior high school students in a district of Tehran and its association with certain demographic and dietary factors this study was carried out. METHODS: Weight, height, waist and hip circumferences were measured and information on two-day food intake and demographics on 398 students aged 10-15 years from district 6 in Tehran were collected. RESULTS: Prevalence of OVERWEIGHT and OBESITY in the studied girls were 19%, 6.5% and in boys were 14%, 13%, respectively. There was an inverse relationship between numbers of siblings and BMI. OVERWEIGHT/obese students, bought snacks from school shops more frequently than other students did. CONCLUSIONS: Findings showed that the high prevalence of OVERWEIGHT/OBESITY can be related to the household size, including the number of siblings and the pattern of snack purchase by the students.
