Objective: To assess the nutrient intake of the obese adolescents in selected districts of Tamil Nadu. Material and Methods: The study was carried out among 6000 adolescents of 12__ampersandsignndash;17 years of age in five districts (Coimbatore, Madurai, Salem, Tiruchirappalli, and Tirunelveli) of Tamil Nadu.

The nutrient intake of the selected adolescents except for iron exceeded the ICMR Recommended Dietary Allowances. The mean calorie intake was higher among adolescents of Coimbatore District (Boys- 2842__ampersandsignplusmn;54.9 kcal/day; Girls - 2503__ampersandsignplusmn;167.4 kcal/day) when compared to other districts. Conclusion: The study suggests that the nutrient intake of obese adolescents varies from each district remarkably with socioeconomic status, food consumption pattern and lifestyle habits. The nutrient intake of the selected adolescents exceeded the ICMR Recommended Dietary Allowances.
