ABSTRACT: Obesity is a global
problem that taking place across the nations such as Spain (35% in children
aged 6-9), Turkey (75% in elementary school children), and Canada (32% in
children aged 5-17). The rate of obesity is increasing in Indonesia every year.
According to Basic Health Research, overweight and obese children reached 18.8%
in 2013. Obesity prevalence in North Sulawesi is 6.4% and 5.3% in Manado. This
study aimed to find out parental views regarding physical activity and dietary
intervention in obese students in primary schools. This research was conducted
in three primary schools in the city of Manado. This study is descriptive study
using mixed method. In the first part, quantitative research, we measured body
weight and height to determine BMI and the student’s nutritional status. In the
second part, qualitative research, we interviewed parents of the obese
students. The prevalence of obesity in study schools is 20.9% in SD Garuda,
20.7% in SDN Winangun, and 18.7% in SD GMIM 20. Parents generally feel happy if
their children are obese, even though they realize the consequences of obesity
and acknowledge that a fat child is not as active and agile as children who are
not obese. Parents agree at the idea of obesity interventions and states that
obese children need a special program in order to reduce and maintain their
weight; despite the fact that some parents put off the intervention program for
their obese children.
