Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma, Mardin ilinin, farklı sosyoekonomik düzeyindeki, üç ilköğretim okulunda, 3460 öğrenciyle yürütüldü. Öğrencilerin, obeziteleri Dünya Sağlık Örgütü’ne (WHO), kan basınçları Amerikan Pediatri Akademisi’nin yayınladığı standartlara göre tanımlandı. Çalışmanın verileri SPSS paket programında, ki-kare testi ile değerlendirildi. İstatistiksel anlamlılık p <0.05 olarak belirlendi. Bulgular: Fazla ağırlığı olan çocuk % 15.78, obez olan çocuk oranı % 10.57’ dir. Obezite sıklığı kız çocuklar için % 9.05 ve erkek çocuklar için % 11.97’ dir ( p<0.01). Öğrencilerin % 1.30’ unda presistolik hipertansiyon, % 2.02’ sinde sistolik hipertansiyon, % 2.65’ inde prediyastolik hipertansiyon ve % 2.74’ ünde diyastolik hipertansiyon görüldü. Ailesinde hipertansiyon olanlar ve onların çocukları arasında hipertansiyon ilişkisi yoktu. İki saatin üzerinde televizyon seyreden çocuklarda, obezite mevcuttu ( p=0.03). Sonuç: Okul sağlığı açısından, hipertansiyon ve obezite değerlendirmeleri gereklidir. Bu nedenle okul çağı çocuklarının muayenelerinde, bu konu mutlaka yer almalı, hipertansiyon ve obezite konusunda öğrencilere ve ailelerine eğitimler verilmelidir.
