Abstract

Background & Objective: Nowadays the rise in the prevalence of overweight and obesity (OW/OB) in children is one of the most alarming public health issues facing the world.Overweighed Children are facing the risk of obesity and obesity in adulthood and its complications. Various studies have indicated direct relationship between lifestyle and obesity. Therefore, the present study has been investigated to determine the relationship between lifestyle pattern as one of the important indicator of lifestyle and body mass index in elementary school girls of Tabriz.Materials & Methods: This is a descriptive study done in Tabriz (2009) in which 1500 students (age range of 7-11) were selected as a sample through a randomize cluster sampling. Height and weight of children were measured by standard methods for determination body mass index (BMI). Based on CDC criteria, the students were divided into four following categories: below the 5th percentile as "underweight ", 5-85 percentile as "normal weight", 85-95 percentile of the standard as "overweight" and above the 95th percentile as "obese". The other demographic data were gathered by obtaining parental consent and filling the research questionnaires. Statistical analysis were done by SPSS/16 comparing the means by using Kruskal-Wallis tests, Mann-Whitney and Spearman correlation for studing correlation between them.Results: The results of the study showed that 73 percent of school girls were normal weight, 12.5% were overweight, 5.8 % obese, and 8.6% underweight. There was a significant relationship (p=0.04), between the hours of watching television and BMI among the subjects, while there was no relationship between BMI and the number of hours that they play computer games, and hours that they study or read books.Conclusion: Although this study could not clearly show the correlation between BMI and LEISURE ACTIVITIES pattern in girls, there were average differences between the obesity and overweight groups which was significant in the number of TV-watching hours. Therefore it seems that TV-watching plays an effective role (more than the other sources) in the incidence of child obesity and overweight. There is a need for prevention of childhood obesity with emphasis on improving the pattern of LEISURE ACTIVITIES.
