Abstract

Keeping in view the increasing trend of obesity in school-going children in Pakistan, I made up my mind during the course work of my PhD program, that I will share my contribution by conducting a well-organized qualitative & quantitative research work on the obesity of school-going children. My research sample size was 600 respondents, 300 hundred from Islamabad/Rawalpindi and 300 from Faisalabad. Respondents were from posh schools, private school and government schools in the age group from 12 to 18 years.
