Abstract：Objective To understand the current situation of overweight and obesity among primary and secondary school students in Shijingshan District, so as to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of obesity among local primary and secondary school students. Methods A total of 2 469 students from 7 schools in Shijingshan District were selected by the stratified random cluster sampling method and investigated. The height and weight were measured with standard methods. Overweight and obesity were determined by body mass index (BMI), and the prevalence rates of overweight and obesity among the primary and secondary school students in Shijingshan District were analyzed. Results The prevalence rates were 19.4% and 24.9% for overweight and obesity among the primary and secondary school students in Shijingshan District respectively. The prevalence rates of overweight were 21.1% and 17.4% in boys and girls respectively, and the prevalence rates of obesity were 30.7% and 18.9% in boys and girls respectively. The prevalence rates of overweight and obesity in boys were higher than those in girls, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=5.360, P=0.021; χ2=45.753, P<0.001). The obesity rates of students in different school sections were statistically significant as primary school (29.2%)>high school/vocational high school (21.7%)>junior high school (21.1%) (χ2=19.461, P<0.001). Conclusions The problem of being overweight and obese is serious among primary and secondary school students in the Shijingshan District of Beijing, especially boys and primary students. Effective prevention and control measures should be taken to control childhood obesity.
