Abstract
This study aimed to assess the nutritional status of adolescents. A cross-sectional study was taken
in a public high school in Guadalupe, Nuevo León, México, with 120 students ages 12 to 15 years.
The sample was performed using systematic statistical selection. Nutritional status of adolescents
was assessed using body mass index (BMI). Prevalence rates for "risk of overweight" and
"overweight" were 16% and 26%, respectively, for boys, as compared to 25% and 11% for girls.
Prevalence of "risk of overweight" and "overweight" was thus high for both sexes; the results were
