In this study, most children were of normal weight and the lowest proportion was underweight, a similar distribution to that found by Najmeh et al.10 However, different results were recorded by Lobstein et al.11 Many studies have shown that the proportion of overweight children in both developing and developed countries is increasing, making it a significant public health concern.12 A higher percentage of females were evident in the underweight category, while the proportion of males was higher in the normal and overweight groups.	cache/mkg-20655.pdf	txt/mkg-20655.txt
