The mean value of BMI of the subjects was 20.61. Almost eighty-six percent of the subjects were normal, 6.9 percent were obese, and 7.6 percent were underweight for BMI. The majority of the subjects(57.1%) evaluatedthemselves as overweight, 27.0% normal, 9.4% obese and 5.8% thin.
In this study, 41.3% of middle school girls and 73.2% of high school girls were trying to lose weight. Selfreported weight control methods included dieting(49.3%, skipping or reducing meals), exercise (29.7%), special dieting(15.8%, juice and vegetables), and using diet pills(6.3%).
