Background:Obesity and low self-esteem are prevalent disorders among adolescents. Tackling this relationship may introduce effective intervention that promotes healthy adolescence. Objectives: to measure the prevalence of overweight and obesity and identify its relation with self-esteem among school adolescents. Method: A cross sectional study was carried out on 533 adolescents selected by multistage cluster sample.The students completed a structured questionnaire on dietary habits, physical activity and self-esteem. Selfesteem was assessed using Rosenberg Scale. Their anthropometric measurements (weight and height) were recorded. Results: 26.5% of adolescents are overweight and 13.3% are obese. Lack of physical activity is the only significant life style factor associated with overweight and obesity. There is a negative statistically significant correlation between self-esteem score and BMI among the adolescent students (r= -0.33 P=0.04) and significant association between overweight and obesity and low self-esteem (p=0.047). Conclusion: More than one fourth of adolescents are suffering from overweight and obesity. Obese adolescents tend to have lower self-esteem. Recommendations: Incorporating healthy behaviors and healthy life style in the curricula of adolescents to promote their mental health is mandatory. Further studies to investigate other risk factors of low self-esteem are needed.

Physical activity is an issue of global concern today. Its implications on people's physical and mental health are highly documented. Physical inactivity is ranked as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality and also is a direct cause of overweight and, at a higher extent, of obesity, so it leads to higher public costs by Health Systems. Physical activity produces a series of physiological processes that are highly related with cognitive processes, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor segregation. Processes such as memory and attention are increased by regular physical activity. Therefore, there exist scientific evidence for the relationship between physical activity and academic performance. Furthermore, both overweight and obesity have raised as variables negatively associated to academic performance and some psychological aspects, such as self-concept. The objective of this review , therefore, is to make a compilation and description of the results of various investigations regarding the benefits of physical activity on academic performance and adverse effects of childhood overweight and obesity on it too.

Sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy nutrition, in particular, cause childhood obesity. The purpose of this semi-experimental research is to determine the changes in body mass index, self-concept, and healthy lifestyle behaviours of children during a training programme to prevent obesity. Children 9 and 15 years old were included from two public secondary schools. A total of 1609 students completed the study in the intervention and control groups (1022 vs 587, respectively). The training programme for the intervention group at the schools had three sessions in 12 weeks and was about obesity, body mass index (BMI) calculation, a healthy lifestyle and coping with stress. Data was collected through a sociodemographic data form, healthy lifestyle behaviours data form, Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale and weight-height measurements during the first and last weeks of the programme (except for the sociodemographic form). Before training, BMI's of children in the intervention group were higher than in the control group (19.61 ± 3.8 vs 19.00 ± 3.5, respectively). The gap between BMI scores of the groups was narrowed after the training (p > 0.05). The mean score on the Self-Concept Scale increased in the intervention group after the training (63.21 ± 9.5) as compared to before the training (61.16 ± 10.4); whereas in the control group, there were no differences found (p = 0.908). In the intervention group, the number of children who had breakfast after the training (81.1%) increased compared to before the training (74.1%) (p = 0.001). The trainings were provided to students to increase healthy nutrition, physical activity and to decrease sedentary lifestyles.
