Eighteen pupils with obesity in A primary school whose parents had agreed to participate, were selected for the experimental group, and 20 pupils with obesity in B primary school were selected for control group. For 12 weeks the obesity control program was applied to the pupils and their parents together with the specified diet, exercise, and behavior modification methods.

The data was analyzed with X´-test, t-test, repeated measures ANOVA, analysis of simple main effect and time contrast method, processed by SPSS WIN 10.0.
Results : The experimental group showed an improved behavior of dietary life (F=6.95, p=0.012), improved dietary habits(F=10.69, p=0.002), and improved exercise habits(F=5.21, p=0.029) than control group. Follow-up measure of the obesity revealed that the degree of obesity of the experimental group decreased from 37.22% to 34.78% while that of the control group increased from 38.16% to 39.53%(F=5.70, p=0.005). The skinfold thickness of experimental group also decreased from 31.17mm to 30.22mm while that of the control group increased from 31.37mm to 32.58mm (F=20.12, P=0.000).
