Abstract

Introduction and aim: Paralleling the rise in OBESITY among adults, overweight and OBESITY among children has increase dramatically in recent years. OBESITY in childhood is of concern because of its immediate adverse effects and the potential increased risk of morbidity and mortality in adulthood. This study was done to evaluate prevalence of OBESITY in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN in Birjand.Material and methods: The height and weight of 1772 students of 7-12 years old (979 boys and 793 girls) which were chosen through two stages sampling (cluster and systematic) were measured. Children whose bodyweight was %20 above the mean weight for height and sex given by NCHS canthimetric classes were defined as obese.Results: The result show that 3.3% children (2.5% boys and 4.3% girls) were obese. OBESITY was more common among girls (P<0.05).Conclusion: Although OBESITY is not a prevalent problem, but there should be a concern about it among children in high SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS.
