Abstract: Background & Objectives: Obesity is an emerging problem in India. The author sought to determine prevalence of obesity and malnutrition in school-going children, from grades 5 to 7 of different schools of Coimbatore and assess Socio-Economic Status that affects the weight of the children. Methods: A cross sectional study design with children studying in grades 5 to 7 grade, in different schools of Coimbatore. We visited 23 schools of which 10 consented; five subsidized government schools and five non-government schools. A validated questionnaire was developed. Height and weight were measured on calibrated scales. Results & Interpretation: Of our total population, 17% of children were underweight, 50% of the entire population lay within the normal range. Conclusion: Obesity and under nutrition co-exist in Indian school-children. Our study shows that socio-economic factors are important since obesity and overweight increase with SES. Higher SES groups should be targeted for overweight while underweight is a problem of lower SES.
