La obesidad y el sobrepeso se están convirtiendo en uno de los trastornos más importantes que se dan sobre todo en los países desarrollados. Existen varios factores que pueden influir en el aumento del IMC en niños con edad escolar ligados al desarrollo de la sociedad actual, como son la disminución de actividad física, una dieta desequilibrada o un aumento en actividades sedentarias. Este estudio se realizó sobre 315 escolares con edad entre 10 y 12 años y pertenecientes a la ciudad de Granada. Se pretende analizar y relacionar el género con los parámetros de obesidad, actividades sedentarias y físicas y la calidad de la dieta. Los resultados arrojaron que la mayoría de alumnado perteneciente a primaria se encuentra dentro del normopeso y tienen una dieta óptima sin haber significación respecto al género.Los varones solían pasar más horas realizando actividades sedentarias que las niñas. Sin embargo los chicos suelen realizar más actividad física que las chicas. Como conclusión, se demuestra la necesidad de realizar intervenciones para motivar a la realización de deporte, sobre todo en el sector femenino además de concienciar a los jóvenes de las consecuencias del sedentarismo y la obesidad.
