Methods: A stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 2305 young people aged 13-18 years old in Sanya City, Hainan Province in 2018. The height and weight of the subjects were measured and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated. The 'overweight and obesity screening body weight index classification criteria for Chinese school-age children and adolescents' was used to screen for overweight and obesity rates, and the detection rates of different age groups were analyzed. Results: The malnutrition rate of young people aged 13-18 years in Sanya City was 12.3%, the overweight rate was 10.9%, and the obesity rate was 3.2%. The overweight rates of male and female students were 16.0% and 6.3%, respectively, and the obesity rates for boys and girls were 4.9% and 1.7%, respectively. There were significant differences in the rates of overweight and obesity among adolescents of different genders. Compared with the national students aged 13-18 in 2014, the overweight and obesity rates of boys in the 13-16 age group in Sanya City were higher than those in the same age group in the country, while the overweight and obesity rates of girls in the 13-18 age group were lower than those in the same age group in the country. Conclusion: The overweight and obesity rate of male students aged 13-18 in Sanya City is significantly higher than that of female students. The overweight and obesity rate of boys aged 13-15 years is higher than that of other regions in the country, which is close to the level of developed countries. Obesity prevention and treatment should be listed as the focus of the school health department.展开更多
