The average BMI was 25.78kg/㎡ in boys and 25.09kg/㎡ in girls. The average percentage of body fat was 25.62 %. Percentages of subjects at dyslipidemia based on corresponding criteria of total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, atherogenic index were 24.05%, 27.85%, 13.92%, 18.99%, 58.23%, respectively, There were significant difference in dietary fat, vitamin A and niacin in subjects by sex. There were no significant difference in energy, carbohydrates, protein, fat, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B$_1$with respect to BMI, but calcium intakes were found significantly correlated with BMI(p<0.05).The percentage of body fat was also positively correlated with animal fat intake, animal calcium intake, diastolic blood pressure and negatively correlated with HDL-cholesterol, atherogenic index, LHR, plant calcium intake, Based upon this study, the children nutritional education is required for better growth and health promotion of primary school children.
