In this study, we investigated the effects of obesity index on the risk factors of chronic diseases in obese children. The subjects were male and female children aged 9 to 12. The average obesity index was 147.7±13.8% in boys and 147.6±16.5% in girls. The average percentages of body fat was significantly higher in boys(33.9±5.7%) than in girls(30.7±4.4%). It was found that 26% of subjects had abnormal serum GOT and GPT values. Percentages of subjects at risk of cardiovascular disease(CVD) based on corresponding criteria of TG, T-chol, HDL-chol, and LDL-chol were 28.6%, 28.6%, 45.5% and 42.7%, respectively. The risk of CVD was increased with the degree of obesity, which was not significant. The AI(atherogenic index) was higher in boys(4.6±2.3) than in girls(3.6±1.2). The serum T-chol and LDL-chol levels of subjects whose mother are in thirties were significantly higher than those of subjects whose mother are in fourties. The T-chol levels of subjects who had mother with job were significantly higher compaired to those of subjects who had housewife mother. The results indicated the urgent need of nu-tritional management for the obese children to prevent further devel-opment of childhood obesity and hyperlipidemia. Based upon this study, devising method and media for the mother nutritional education as well as for the children nutritional education is required for better growth and health promotion of primary school children.
