摘要

Background: Overweight and obesity among children and adolescents is a major public health concern and their prevalenceis increasing worldwide at an alarming rate in both developing and developed countries.Aims: The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity in a representative sample of12–18-year-old schooled adolescents in Fez, Morocco, and to investigate the possible risk factors associated with adolescentobesity.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2014 and March 2015 in public secondary schools.Data were collected from a questionnaire. Weight and height were measured, and body mass index was calculated. Weightwas classified according to the reference curves of WHO (2007). Data on 1818 adolescents aged 12–18 years were used.Results: The prevalence of overweight was 7.69% and that of obesity was 3.41%. Overweight and obesity in adolescentswere positively correlated to having a father (odds ratio (OR) = 1.58, P = 0.008) or a mother with higher education (OR = 1.56,P = 0.009). High family income (OR = 2.115, P = 0.028), motorized transport to school (adjusted OR = 1.77, P = 0.017), using acomputer for > 4 h/day (OR: 2.56, P = 0.004) and frequent consumption of soda and soft drinks (OR = 1.42, P = 0.04) werealso correlated with an increased risk for overweight and obesity.Conclusions: This study provides useful findings that could be elaborated on and expanded in studies on overweight andobesity among adolescents in Morocco.
