Abstract
Body composition analysis techniques measure the size of body compartments on the basis of distinguishing between them by aspects of their differing physical characteristics. Information from body composition measurement is of great value, applicable to areas including study of the changes that occur with the development and ageing of the body through life, in the field of nutrition and exercise, and investigating important pathophysiological changes occurring in a range of disease states. Overweight and obesity are associated with an increased risk of various health problems including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers (Knight, 2011) A total of 182 school children out of proposed 200 were agree to participated giving the response rate of 91%. The mean age of participants are 13.39 years (SD 0.79 years) with a range from 10 to 16 years. Most of the studied school children are their ages 13 years or less (209/344, 59.6%) and being females (184.244, 53.5%)
