Abstract

Background and Objectives: Reports are available that childhood and adolescent OBESITY have an important effect on adult morbidity and mortality. It has also been suggested that screening childhood OBESITY seems to be necessary with reliable and practical methods. BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) is one of the common methods which can be used for determining OBESITY in every gender and ages.Methodology: Childhood OBESITY was screened for a period of one year (in year 1995) by assessment of BODY MASS INDEX. The study was carried out on 1,223 SCHOOL CHILDREN (616 males and 607 females) , aged 7-11 years in Tabriz city of Iran.Results: We observed that in two gender groups BMI value increased with age. Difference in the BMI value between female and male groups was statistically significant (p<0.0001). The differences in two groups especially in 50th centile at ages nine, ten, and eleven years were remarkable. We compared our results in the form of centile curves with international standard curves. The centile curves of our finding were lower than international curves, maximum difference was observed in 75th centile of male at 11 years and in 50th centile of females at 11 years.Conclusion: Although the results obtained does not clearly explain the differences observed in our study, however, in our view genetic and social factors might have played an important role in the differences.
