In recent years, high attention has been focused on the
primordial and primary prevention of behavioral and
biological risk factors of the adults’ chronic diseases because
there are convincing evidences showing the emergence of
chronic diseases and atherosclerosis from the very beginning
of the life time.[1‑3] Behavioral and biological risk factors
concerned with the non‑communicable diseases are formed
in the childhood and remain constant to adulthood.[4‑16]
Numerous risk factors such as obesity, dyslipidemia, and high
blood pressure continue from childhood and adolescenceincidence in later ages.[17‑21] Findings of different studies warn
us of the high speed trend of overweight and immobility[21‑23]
as well as orientation towards high calorie and low value
of foods,[22‑28] on the other hand, most of the risk factors of
non‑communicable diseases are preventable and controllable
from the childhood.
