Abstract

Background: At present, the prevalence of OBESITY among CHILDren and youngsters is rapidly increasing in developed countries. Few studies have been carried out on CHILDhood OBESITY in Iran using standard references.Objective: Assessing the prevalence of OBESITY among school CHILDren in Neishabour using several references including Iranian reference, CDC 2000 and IOTF 2000.Methods: In a cross-sectional trial, 1471 students aged 6-12 were selected by a two-stage cluster sampling. Height and weight of students were measured and BMI was calculated. OBESITY was defined as having a BMI³95th percentile of Iranian reference or CDC. Also, the students with BMI greater than IOTF values were identified as obese.Findings: The prevalence of OBESITY according to the Iranian reference, CDC and IOTF were 8.5% (CI 95%, 7.1-10.0%), 4.6% (CI 95%, 3.5-6.0%), and 7.3% (CI 95%, 6.0-9.0%), respectively. Using CDC reference, a significant difference in prevalence of OBESITY between girls and boys (5.8% vs. 3.1%) was found (p<0.05). When the Iranian reference was applied, the prevalence of OBESITY was shown to be significantly higher in boys aged 7 and 8 compared to girls (15.2% vs. 6.4% and 12.5% vs. 4.0%), respectively (p<0.05). Finally, the application of IOTF reference produced no significant difference in prevalence of OBESITY between girls and boys.Conclusion: As the results of different references in determining the prevalence of OBESITY were not the same, use of relevant BMI percentile is recommended.
