At the first stage, 835 8-11 old girls were studied. Height, weight were measured and BMI was calculated. Iranian BMI reference, CDC 2000 and IOTF 2000 references were used to define obesity. When using Iranian or CDC references, the prevalence of obesity was defined as the percentage of children above the 95th percentiles of the BMI. When IOTF reference was used, the students who had a BMI more than the BMI equivalent to 30 at age 18 considered as obese. At the second stage of the study, all the obese students (according to Iranian - reference) considered as Case group (n = 134) and 134 Control girls with the normal weight (5th percentile £ BMI <=5th Percentile) were chosen randomly and obese children were matched with non - obese children by sex, age, school and Classroom. Parental BMI were calculated using self - reported height and weight. Mothers and fathers having a BMI> 30 Kg/m2 were identified as obese. Results and Conclusion: The prevalence of obesity among all the study samples (n=835) were 16%, 9.6%, 6.6% according to Iranian, CDC 2000 and IOTF 2000 references respectively and obese girls had significantly higher possibility of having obese parents than controls (P<0.02).The results of this study indicates that CHILDHOOD OBESITY is increasing in Tehran.
