BACKGROUND
Obesity has become a public health problem worldwide. Our objective was to calculate the prevalence of overweight and obesity.
METHODS
It is a cross sectional study of adolescents in private Lebanese schools, aged 10-18 years. Gender, birth date and measures of weight and height were recorded.
RESULTS
In 12,299 adolescents, we found high prevalence of obesity (7.5%) and at risk of obesity (24.4%). In girls, risk of obesity and obesity prevalence decrease with increasing age (P < 10(-4)) as compared with that in boys.
CONCLUSION
Early recognition of obesity should become routine in paediatric ambulatory care settings.
