BACKGROUND AND AIMS
We undertook this study to assess the prevalence of obesity and overweight in children enrolled in government primary schools in the city of Rabat, Morocco.
METHODS
Twenty three schools were randomly selected. A cross-sectional study was conducted between April 2010 and June 2010. The survey was conducted on the basis of two questionnaires for both parents and children. The references used are those of the WHO (2007).
RESULTS
Our study involved a sample of 1570 children with an average age of 9.7 ± 0.95 years. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 8.7%. Overweight affected 5.1% and obesity affected 3.6%. The majority of our population consisted of children of low socioeconomic status where 59% of fathers are laborers and 85% of mothers are unemployed.
CONCLUSION
Overweight and obesity do not spare the most underprivileged social strata of our country. Therefore, prevention strategies and programs to raise awareness of risks and threats involved must be a public health priority.
背景与目的
我们开展此项研究，旨在评估摩洛哥拉巴特市公立小学儿童的肥胖症和超重流行率。
方法
随机选取 23 所学校。2010 年 4 月至 6 月期间进行了横断面研究。调查是基于家长和儿童的两份问卷进行的。使用的参考资料是世界卫生组织（2007 年）的资料。
结果
我们的研究涉及 1570 名儿童的样本，平均年龄为 9.7±0.95 岁。超重和肥胖的流行率为 8.7%。超重影响 5.1%，肥胖影响 3.6%。我们的大多数人群是社会经济地位较低的儿童，其中 59%的父亲是工人，85%的母亲失业。
结论
超重和肥胖并没有放过我国最贫困的社会阶层。因此，预防策略和提高风险意识的宣传计划必须是公共卫生的重点。
