Abstract
Excerpt: A face-to-face validated survey based study was conducted among high school students. Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated based on the self-reported height and weight to compare with perceived weight status based on a question: “Do you consider yourself to be underweight, overweight, about right or obese”? Participants were asked to rate their health and how much they worry about gaining weight. Descriptive and Chi-Square tests were used for analysis. Level of significance was 0.05.
