The article presents the results of the status studying assessment of obesity among children in Baku and in the regions of Republic. The purpose of the study is to monitor the prevalence of obesity among children in Baku and to identify risk factors. The study was conducted on the basis of a semi-vertical design. The epidemiological control system included school children aged 6.0-6.9, 7.0-7.9, 8.0-8.9 and 9.0-9.9. The selection was made in accordance with the COSI protocol of the WHO European regional office. A two-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used as primary sampling elements were schools, and secondary sampling elements were third classes. 2827 8-year-old children were examined in 128 elementary schools, including 1527 boys (54%) and 1300 girls (46%). In total, 128 schools from 12 regions, including 56 urban and 72 rural schools, were included in the national sample. The number of children participating in the research in Baku city was 965 (500 of them were boys and 465 were girls).
