Objective: In this study, it is aimed to determine the incidence of obesity in primary school students.
Material and Methods: This cohort type study was carried out in four primary schools, two of which are private and
two are public schools, located in the district of Meram in Konya. The sample size of the study was calculated as 181.
The first data of the study were collected between April 29 to May 07, 2019. For the research, a data collection form consisting of 45 questions was developed by the workers. Students whose written consent was obtained by their parents to participate
in the study, were measured in terms of height and weight. Arithmetic mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values were
used to summarize the numerical data, frequency distributions and percentages were used to summarize the categorical data. The
relationships between the categorical data were evaluated by Chi-square test and the cases where p was less than 0.05 were considered
statistically significant.
Results: The study included 209 students, 61.2% of whom were studying at public schools, 53.6% of whom were girls. 12.4% of the
students were overweight and 15.8% were obese. A statistically significant difference was found between the educational status of the
mother of the students, the monthly income of the family, the type of the school, the body mass index of the mother, the profession of the
father, the obese relative in the family, bringing a lunchbox to the school, and where she ate lunch and being obese (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Families should be educated about nutrition and schools, which have an important place in children’s lives, should be supported
to participate in the nutrition-friendly school project.

ilk verileri 29 Nisan -07 Mayıs 2019 tarihleri arasında toplandı. Araştırma için, çalışmacılar tarafından 45 sorudan oluşan
bir veri toplama formu geliştirildi. Velileri tarafından araştırmaya katılmaları için yazılı onamı alınan öğrencilerin, boy ve
ağırlık ölçümleri yapıldı. Sayısal verilerin özetlenmesinde; aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma, minimum ve maksimum
değerleri, kategorik verilerin özetlenmesinde frekans dağılımları ve yüzdelikler kullanıldı. Kategorik veriler arasındaki
ilişkiler ki-kare testi ile değerlendirildi ve istatistiksel olarak p’nin 0.05’ten küçük olduğu durumlar anlamlı kabul edildi.
Bulgular: Araştırmaya, %61.2’si devlet okulunda eğitim gören, %53.6’sı kız olmak üzere 209 öğrenci dâhil edildi.
