AB  - Objective. To review the extant literature on the prevalence of overweight and 
      obesity in adolescents (10-19 years old) of both sexes. Design. The search was 
      carried out using Medline and Scopus considering articles published from the 
      establishment of the databanks until June 7, 2012. Data on the prevalence of 
      children being overweight and obese from the International Obesity Task Force 
      (IOTF) website was also reviewed. Only original articles and one National Health 
      Report were considered. Forty studies met the inclusion criteria. Results. 
      Twenty-five of these studies were nationally representative, and ten countries 
      were represented only by regional data. Conclusions. The prevalence of overweight 
      and obesity among adolescents worldwide is high, and obesity is higher among 
      boys. The IOTF criterion is the most frequently used method to classify 
      adolescents as overweighed or obese in public health research.
