The number schools were equal with respect to residential area and sex.

Results of logistic regression analyses showed that the risk of overweight and OBESITY was 1.203 times in male as compared to females [1.078-1.341, CI 95%], 1.382 times in urban as compare to rural areas [1.240-1.541, CI 95%] and 2.297 times in high economic group as compared to low economic group [1.911-2.761, CI 95].Conclusion: OBESITY was a health problem in PRIMARY SCHOOL children in GOLESTAN PROVINCE and urbanization and rise of economic status was a risk factor.
