“…Finally, no statistically significant relationship was found between the students' obesity awareness total score, obesity awareness, nutrition awareness and physical activity awareness sub-dimension scores, and the BMI of the students. This is supported by research findings that of Atlı, Özkan and Uyar (2016) that examining the levels of secondary school students obesity awareness. Researchers revealed that there is no statistically significant difference between the obesity awareness total scores and obesity awareness, nutrition awareness and physical activity awareness sub-dimension scores of young female and male students.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the obesity awareness levels of lower-secondary school students differ according to school type and gender, and whether there is a relationship between the level of awareness and the body mass indexes of students. The population of this study is the 12-14 years old lower-secondary school students. A total of 590 students were included in the study this study. The mean ages of the female students were 13.0±.9 and male students were 13.0±1.0. Demographic Information Form, Obesity Awareness Scale and BMI measurements were used to collect data. Independent t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to analyze data. Results of the data analysis showed statistically no significant difference between the public and private lower-secondary school students' obesity awareness levels. The only difference found between the students' BMI levels. Results also showed statistically no significant difference between female and male students' obesity awareness levels. Correlation analysis revealed a non-significant correlation between BMI and obesity awareness scores of female and male lower-secondary school students. The study findings showed that obesity awareness were similar in public and private lower-secondary school students, and did not correlate with BMI level of students.

“…Kara (2017) states that there is asignificant difference between students' OAS sub-dimensions and PAQC scores based on their parents' educational levels. Atli et al (2016) observed no statistical significance between the total score and the sub-dimensions of parents' education status, reading books, watching television, fast food eating habits, and obesity awareness in their study.…”

The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between awareness of obesity status and physical activity levels of students attending the 2nd grade of primary education. A total of 558 students studying in Van city center, 285 boys and 273 girls, participated in this study in the survey model. The study data were gathered using the "Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQC)", the "Obesity Awareness Scale", and "Personal Information Form". In the analysis of the study data, SPSS statistical package software was used for descriptive statistics, and as the data had normal distribution, ANOVA, t-test, and Pearson Correlation tests were used.There was a significant difference (p<0.05) between the students' income level, academic achievement, parent's occupation, parent's educationlevel, gender, age and physical activity levels. Physical activity levels in primary school students were found to have a positive and very significant relationship with obesity awareness (r=0.116, p=0.000). Furthermore, there was a positive and significant relationship between the PAQC score and the sub-dimensions of obesity (r=0.103, p=0.015), nutrition (r= 0.111, p=0.008), and physical activity (r = 0.095, p=0.024). As a result, students who consider their income level and academic success to be good are more likely physical activity levels. As the obesity awareness of the students increases, their physical activity levels increase. This article was presented as an oral presentation at The 10th International Conference in Physical Education, Sports and Physical Therapy -ICPEST -November 18 -20 2016.

“…The significant difference for OAS was caused by higher mean score of boys studying in the private school. Atlı et al (14) found in their study that girls had higher subscales and scale mean scores compared to boys but there was no significant difference. This difference in the study suggested that boys studying in the private school had high obesity awareness.…”

“…Washington et al (13) investigated the effect of ecological factors and family in normal and overweight children in preschool period and found that they were effective. In their study, Atlı et al (14) investigated obesity awareness of secondary school students and they found a significant difference between body mass index and gender. In their study, Sözen and Bebek (15) examined the obesity awareness of university students and found that women had more obesity awareness than men.…”

Introduction:The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of obesogenic environment and sociodemographic characteristics on children's obesity awareness levels. Materials and Methods:The sample of the study was composed of a total of 540 children studying at the 5 th grade (63), 6 th grade (73), and 7 th grade (79) in the private school and at the 5 th grade (131), 6 th grade (108), and 7 th grade (86) in the public school specified between the dates when the study was conducted. "Descriptive Information Form", "Obesogenic Environmental Evaluation Form (OEEF)" and "Obesity Awareness Scale (OAS)" were used to collect the data. Results: It was determined that OEEF mean score was higher in children studying in the public school (10.50±2.23) than those studying in the private school (7.77±2.36) and the difference between them was significant. OAS "physical activity" subscale mean score was significantly higher in children studying in the public school. Conclusion: When OEEF and OAS mean scores were examined according to sociodemographic variables, it was found that there was a significant difference between the groups in terms of some variables. It was determined in the study that the children studying in the public school were affected more by the obesogenic environmental conditions and gender increased the obesity awareness level of the children. Within the scope of the fight against obesity, it is recommended to conduct consciousness-raising and awareness programs related to obesogenic environment in all educational institutions primarily in public schools. ÖzGiriş: Araştırmanın amacı, obezojenik çevre ve sosyodemografik özelliklerin çocukların obezite farkındalık düzeylerine etkisini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini çalışmanın yapıldığı tarihlerde belirtilen özel okulda 5. sınıf (63), 6. sınıf (73), 7. sınıfta (79); devlet okulunda 5. sınıf (131), 6. sınıf (108), 7. sınıfta (86) eğitim gören toplam 540 çocuk oluşturdu. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında "Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu", "Obezojenik Çevre Değerlendirme Formu (OÇDF)" ve "Obezite Farkındalık Ölçeği (OFÖ)" kullanıldı.
