AB  - BACKGROUND: Childhood overweight and obesity has increased dramatically during 
      the past decades, both in developing and developed countries. The present study 
      examined the prevalent trends in overweight and obesity among rural children and 
      adolescents over the past 29 years (1985-2014) in Shandong, China. METHODS: Data 
      for this study were obtained from six cross-sectional surveys (1985, 1995, 2000, 
      2005, 2010 and 2014) of schoolchildren in Shandong Province, China. A total of 
      27,840 rural students aged 7-18 years were included in this study. Body mass 
      index cut-off points recommended by the Working Group on Obesity in China (WGOC), 
      the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) and the World Health Organization 
      (WHO) were used to define overweight and obesity. RESULTS: The prevalence of 
      overweight and obesity has been increasing continually in rural areas over the 
      past 29 years (1985-2014). Using WGOC criteria, for boys, the prevalence of 
      overweight and obesity increased from 0.74% and 0.03% in 1985 to 16.35% and 
      17.20% in 2014, and for girls it increased from 1.45% and 0.12% in 1985 to 13.91% 
      and 9.11% in 2014, respectively. A similar increasing trend was observed by IOTF 
      and WHO criteria. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among 
      children and adolescents in Shangdong rural areas increased rapidly between 1985 
      and 2014. Rural areas should not be neglected in obesity intervention, 
      policy-makers and experts should pay more attention to the new tendency.
