Article Synopsis
- * The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of water quality and sanitation, particularly in developing countries where low socioeconomic conditions exacerbate the risks of waterborne diseases.

Background: Many developing countries are in a state of nutritional transition from prevalent under-nutrition to the emergent problem of over-nutrition (overweight and obesity), which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, and whose complications can persist into adulthood with long-term consequences. However, data are limited on the risk factors for overweight and obesity (O&O) among primary school children, particularly those in rural and semi-urban areas in these countries.
Aim And Objectives: To determine the socio-demographic factors associated with overweight and obesity among primary school children in semi-urban areas.
