DuPage County Health Department collected de-identified data from health forms submitted by participating schools for academic years 2011-2015 for kindergarten, sixth-, and ninth-grade students to determine the prevalence of obesity and elevated blood pressure among public school students. The prevalence of obesity in students for the 2014-2015 school year was 15.1%, and the prevalence of elevated blood pressure was 22.8%. Students in the "obese" body mass index percentile category had an elevated blood pressure prevalence of 44.2%, which was higher than students in the "nonobese" category (P < .001). Significant differences were also observed both by sex and by grade. The results identify the need to support implementation and evaluation of policies to reduce childhood obesity and improve health outcomes. By partnering with schools to obtain preexisting health data, state or local health departments with limited resources may replicate these methods to develop a childhood obesity surveillance system.

:DuPage县卫生部门从参与学校提交的2011-2015学年的健康表格中收集了针对幼儿园,六年级和九年级学生的身份数据,以确定公立学校学生中肥胖症和高血压的患病率。 2014-2015学年,学生的肥胖症患病率为15.1%,高血压病患病率为22.8%。体重指数为“肥胖”类别的学生的血压患病率升高为44.2%,高于“非肥胖”类别的学生(P <.001)。在性别和年级方面也观察到显着差异。结果表明,有必要支持实施和评估减少儿童肥胖和改善健康结果的政策。通过与学校合作以获取预先存在的健康数据,资源有限的州或地方卫生部门可以复制这些方法来开发儿童肥胖症监测系统。
