Abstract

Background and aim: Nowadays OBESITY is assumed as a global health problem and its prevalence increased in recent decade. It is known as a risk factor for several diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease and cancer. This study was undertaken to evaluate the OBESITY and OVERWEIGHT in Barn STUDENTS.Methods: 330 STUDENTS (140 male and 190 female) with mean age of 21.78M2.61 were selected from Barn educational centers in stratified sampling. Weight and height were measured without shoes and unneeded cloths. Weight and height were measured using a standard protocol and body mass index (kg/m2) was calculated. The criteria used to define body composition were based on BMI cut-off points of the WHO exper committee.Results: The results shows the mean and SD BMI were 21.082±3.216 overall, and 22.08±3.082, 1.59±3.31, respectively, in male and female STUDENTS. 14.1% of STUDENTS were UNDERWEIGHT, 70.9% normal weight, 12.1% OVERWEIGHT and 2.1% obese. 12.7% of females and 13.8% of males had visceral OBESITY. A significant relation between family history of OBESITY and BMI is seen (P<0.05).Conclusion: As results show some of female and male STUDENTS are in a degree of OVERWEIGHT and OBESITY, therefore launching nutritional services and life style modification program are recommended.
