Prevalence of overweight and obesity among students were 23.1% and 6.5% respectively. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was related with male gender (p<0.05), family history of obesity (95% CI: 2.22-2.43), fast eating habit (p<0.05), and healthy dietary habits (95% CI: 1.02-2.85). The percents of moderate grade and high grade risk groups of students according to Eating Habits Index were 56.5 and 30.8 respectively.
