ABSTRACT
 Objective: In this study, it was aimed to assess obesity frequency and quality of school life in grade 5, 6, 7, and 8 students from elementary schools in Yozgat Province. Material and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study included 1,200 students studying in grades 5, 6, 7, and 8 during the spring semester of the 2019-2020 school year in 4 elementary schools affiliated with the Provincial Directorate of National Education in Yozgat Province. No sampling was performed as it was aimed to encompass the whole study population. Data were collected using individual data sheets and the Quality of School Life Scale (QSLS) via face-to-face interview method. Overall, the study included 936 students. Results: In the study population, the mean age was 12.2±1.2 years and 50.9% were boys. Of the students, 45.5% were attending a school assigned to have the low socioeconomic level. Based on body mass index (BMI) assessment, it was found that 16.7% of subjects were overweight or obese. Among students, the mean score was 120.5±22.7 points while the minimum score was 39 points maximum point was 171 on the QSLS. No significant correlation was found between BMI and quality of school life. Conclusion: It is important to implement measures directing long-term unfavorable consequences at preschool period in order to prevent overweight and obesity in childhood.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Yozgat ili merkezindeki ilköğretim 5, 6, 7 ve 8. sınıf öğrencilerinde obezite sıklığı ve okul yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki bu araştırmaya 2019-2020 eğitim-öğretim yılı bahar yarıyılında Yozgat ilinde İl Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğüne bağlı 4 ilköğretim okulunda 5, 6, 7 ve 8. sınıflarda öğrenim gören 1.200 öğrenci dâhil edilmiştir. Araştırma evreninin tamamına ulaşılması hedeflenmiş, örneklem seçilmemiştir. Veriler kişisel bilgi formu ve Okul Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği [Quality of School Life Scale (QSLS)] kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Çalışma 936 öğrenciyi içermektedir. Bulgular: Çalışma popülasyonunda ortalama yaş 12,2±1,2 idi ve %50,9'u erkekti. Öğrencilerin %45,5'i sosyoekonomik düzeyi düşük olarak belirlenen bir okula devam etmektedir. Beden kitle indeksi (BKİ) değerlendirmesine göre deneklerin %16,7'sinin fazla kilolu veya obez olduğu tespit edildi. Öğrencilerin QSLS ortalama puanı 120,5±22,7 olup, minimum 39, maksimum ise 171 puandır. BKİ ile okul yaşam kalitesi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı. Sonuç: Çocukluk çağında fazla kilo ve obezitenin önlenmesi için okul öncesi dönemde uzun vadeli olumsuz sonuçlara yönelik önlemlerin alınması önemlidir.
