In the present cross- sectional study, an attempt has been made to report the prevalence of overweight and obesity in school- going children of the affluent families of Punjab. A total of 1000 children ( 490 boys and 510 girls) were measured for height and weight. Overweight and obesity were assessed using age and sex- specific body mass index ( BMI) cut- off points. In the present study, 12.24% boys and 14.31% girls were overweight, and 5.92% boys and 6.27% girls were obese. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among the affluent school children of Punjab was as high or higher as in some developed countries.
