Objective: To evaluate the two‐year outcome of a school‐based health promotion on weight status in the schoolchildren of District Srinagar. A two year follow up study of the obese and overweight schoolchildren of the urban district Srinagar (J&K) was done to look for health promotion effects and changes in the students, conducted from March 2017 to April 2019. A total of 30 schools, 22 private and 8 government schools were visited for the follow up of 58(9.1%) obese and 89(13.9%) overweight children. During the follow up period the obese and overweight children were questioned about the changes in their dietary habits, physical activity, computer and television hours and additional risk factors. Special attention was given to the following of the health promotion/advises given at the time of diagnosis of their conditions two years ago. Seven children, 5 obese and 2 overweight were lost to the follow up in the first year of the study. Among 87 overweight children 11 had become obese and among 53 obese children 3 had become normal for their BMI. Among the 89 overweight children, 9(10.1%) were found to have retained normal BMI.11 (12.3%) overweight children had become obese. Total number of obese had risen to 61. (Table2) The health promotion had not brought desirable changes in the dietary behavior and physical activity of the schoolchildren. The study found the persistence of obesity and the increase in number of obese in the overweight children. Type of school and role of teachers signified the behavioral changes. The increase in number of obese was more in private than government schools. Junk food being the most important factor.
