Abstract: Balangat, Rhemie Ross; Santiago, Maria Remedios; Soriano, Rachel. "Prevalence of Obesity among Pupils in Selected Private Elementary Schools in and Tanza, Cavite". Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2007. Adviser: Dr. Josefina R. Rint. This study, entitled "Prevalence of Obesity among Pupils in Selected Private Elementary Schools Dasmarinas and Tanza, Cavite", aimed to assess the prevalence of obesity among pupils in selected private elementary schools in Dasmarinas and Tanza, Cavite. This study also aimed to identify the predisposing factor of being obese (hereditary, socio-economic or lifestyle and environment). Coordination with the principals and staff of each selected private elementary school was done. Obese pupils were weighed and their heights were noted in order to compute for their Body Mass Index. Questionnaires were given to obese pupils which served as their assignment. A letter addressed to the parents was included together with the said questionnaire asking them to help their child in answering some questions. These questionnaires were collected afterwards. The mean for each factor was computed. Upon getting the grand mean, this study had come up with the result that hereditary factor, having the greatest mean, greatly affects the prevalence of obesity. The result of the study reveals that most obese students were male and belong to a family with more than enough daily income to support their needs. They have equal desire in eating at home and in fast food chains.
