Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of OBESITY and OVERWEIGHT in STUDENTS of TEHRAN University of Medical Sciences in 2015.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 342 STUDENTS living in the dormitory being selected through random cluster sampling. Data were collected using a researcher–made questionnaire, and height and weight measurements. For calculating OBESITY and OVERWEIGHT, the WHO criteria for body mass index (BMI) were used. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16.Results: The prevalence of OBESITY and OVERWEIGHT in study subjects were 1.5 % and 15.2%, respectively. There was a significant relationship between gender and body mass index status variables in STUDENTS (p<0.001). Also, there was a significant difference between the indexes of OVERWEIGHT and smoking as well as between OVERWEIGHT and physical activity (P˂0.05).Conclusion: Prevalence of OVERWEIGHT and OBESITY among STUDENTS of TEHRAN University of medical sciences is at a high level. Therefore, it is recommended to implement preventive programs complying with diet and the taking of regular physical activity is essential.
