ABSTRACT
Introduction: Overweight/obesity constitutes, for non-communicable diseases, a fertile ground that must be fought at all costs. So, this study aimed to draw up its epidemiological profile among high school students in
Bamako, Mali.
Methods: The study was cross-sectional and descriptive. The sample size
was calculated using the StatCalc program of the Epi 7.2 software. Data
was collected using a questionnaire on KoboCollect. Nutritional status was
assessed using the World Health Organization (WHO)-AnthroPlus software
and analyzed with SPSS 26 software.
