Obesity has now become a common health problem worldwide. To gain insight into the epidemiology of the problem in Iran, we systematically reviewed all available studies on the prevalence of overweight and obesity in the Iranian pediatric population.
We systematically searched PubMed, ISI, SCOPUS, as well as Iranmedex, Irandoc, and Scientific Information Database (SID) databases.All studies on mean and standard deviation or percentile categories of BMI, WC, WHR, or WHtR or prevalence of obesity/overweight in Iranian child and adolescence, were performed from January 1990 to the end of December 2013. Refining processes were conducted by two independent reviewers. Quality assessment and data extraction followed based on validated form. As, these data were heterogeneous, meta-analysis was not performed.
From 3253 records, through three refining steps, 129 articles were found related to our study. In Iran, national studies are limited and nearly there is no comprehensive study for sub-national trends. Different age and sex groups had large variations in the prevalence of obesity and overweight (from 1% up to 16.1% and from 4.4% up to 42.3% respectively for obesity and overweight).
Related data are very scattered or limited to some specific subgroups in some living areas. For comparing, aggregating, and imputing the information we need more modern practical statistical methods.
肥胖现已成为全球常见的健康问题。为深入了解伊朗该问题的流行病学情况，我们系统回顾了所有关于伊朗儿童肥胖和超重患病率的现有研究。
我们系统检索了PubMed、ISI、SCOPUS以及Iranmedex、Irandoc和科学信息数据库（SID）。所有关于伊朗儿童和青少年BMI、WC、WHR或WHtR的均值和标准差或百分位数类别，或肥胖/超重患病率的研究，均在1990年1月至2013年12月底期间进行。由两名独立评审员进行精炼过程。基于经过验证的表格进行质量评估和数据提取。由于这些数据具有异质性，未进行荟萃分析。
从3253条记录中，经过三个精炼步骤，发现129篇与我们研究相关的文章。在伊朗，全国性研究有限，几乎没有关于次国家级趋势的全面研究。不同年龄和性别的肥胖和超重患病率差异很大（肥胖率从1%到16.1%，超重率从4.4%到42.3%）。
相关数据非常分散，或者仅限于某些生活区域的特定亚组。为了比较、汇总和估算我们所需的信息，我们需要更现代实用的统计方法。
