Abstract

Background: The epidemic of overweight and obesity is a reflection of societal and behavioral changes in communities over recent decades. There is a global increase in overweight and obesity among students, which has a long-term health risk. Factors strongly linked to obesity among students include high energy, fat, salt, and low fiber food choices, skipping breakfast, excessive snack consumption, insufficient physical activity, high-calorie diets, and smoking. Despite to this there is a major evidence gap of obesity/overweight and its health impacts in developing countries like Somaliland.
