Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of obesity, overweight and hypertension in children and adolescents aged 10-15 in Ahvaz.

Methods: This is a epidemiologic study performed on 176 people aged 10-15 in Ahvaz. In 2009, 300 people underwent weight, height and blood pressure measurements. Five years later, the same people were reassessed for obesity, overweight and hypertension, of whom a total of 176 people agreed to repeat the procedure.

Results: The study included 100 (57%) males and 76 (43%) females. Mean BMI was 22.1 ± 4.3 kg / m2 in year 2014, without any significant difference between the two sexes (P = 0.518). In the same year, the prevalence of obesity and overweight was 26 (14.8%) and 13 (7.4%), respectively. After 5years, BMI increased significantly (P < 0.001). Of the 150 norma participants with normal BMI in 2009, 15 (10%) and 6 (4%) became overweight and obese in 2014 respectively. The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures increased significantly over 5 years P = 0.042 and P < 0.001.

Conclusions: This study shows an increase in mean BMI and mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures after 5 years among people aged 10-15 in Ahvaz.

Although childhood overweight has been associated with an increased risk for later development of eating disorders, there has been little research indicating whether previously overweight children and adolescents have an increased risk for restrictive eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa or atypical anorexia nervosa. The fifth edition of the (DSM-5) defines anorexia nervosa as the restriction of energy intake relative to requirements, leading to a significantly low body weight, an intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, and disturbance in the way in which one's body weight or shape is experienced. In atypical anorexia nervosa, the DSM-5 specifies that all criteria for anorexia nervosa can be met for this disorder, except that after despite significant weight loss the individual's weight is currently within or above the normal range.
