The present study examined the prevalence of underweight and overweight in a group of primary-school children in Zahedan, south-east Iran.
A cross-sectional study in a randomly selected population of schoolchildren.
Primary-school children in Zahedan city.
A random sample of 1079 students (boys = 500 and girls = 579). Data on child's age, parental educational levels, body weight and height were collected.
The rate of overweight/obesity among boys and girls was 8.9 % and 10.3 %, respectively; and of underweight among boys and girls was 22.8 % and 19.9 %, respectively. Prevalence of overweight increased as the boys and girls approached adolescence and it was more prevalent among girls than boys. Prevalence of overweight was directly related to maternal education in this population.
High prevalence of underweight in young children as well as increase in the prevalence of overweight in girls and boys near adolescence are of concern. Early poor growth and subsequent rapid weight gain near to adolescent stage is related to adulthood obesity.
本研究旨在调查伊朗东南部扎黑丹市一组小学生中体重过轻和超重的流行情况。
对随机抽取的学龄儿童进行横断面研究。
扎黑丹市的小学。
随机抽取的 1079 名学生（男生 500 名，女生 579 名）。收集了有关儿童年龄、父母教育程度、体重和身高的数据。
男生和女生的超重/肥胖率分别为 8.9%和 10.3%；男生和女生的体重不足率分别为 22.8%和 19.9%。随着男孩和女孩接近青春期，超重的患病率增加，且女孩的患病率高于男孩。超重的患病率与该人群中母亲的教育程度直接相关。
幼儿体重过轻的比例较高，以及女孩和男孩在接近青春期时超重的比例增加，令人担忧。早期生长不良以及随后在青少年阶段接近肥胖的快速体重增加与成年肥胖有关。
