Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) was used to examine children's physical activity, HbA1c measured to evaluate diabetes status, and feeding behavior questionnaire is given to students and through interviews. RESULTS: Prevalence of overweight and obese children who have an HbA1c level between 5.2% and 5.6% was 62.7%. Obese and overweight children are less support from family 72.2%, exercise once a week 82.7% with duration less than 60min 68.2%, the habit of snacking 64.5%, and consumption of fast food≥two times a week 62.7%. CONCLUSION: Socio-demographic, cultural family, and lifestyle play a role in increasing the risk of incident prediabetes in overweight and obese children of school age.
