Objective: Investigations imply that many of children and adolescents have kinds of behavioral problems and disorders. In this case, externalized problems have been distinguished as central problems. On the one hand overweighting prevalence has strongly increased in this age range. Therefore, the aim of this study is the comparison of externalized behavioral problems in overweighting and normal children. Method: Statistical population consist of all Tehran city elementary students that were selected by cluster sampling; in the way that among education and training sections, section 6 was selected and among schools in this section two male school and 220 students were selected as research sample. Children Behavioral Check List (CBCL) was research tool. Findings: Results of multivariate Variance (MANOVA) showed that behavioral problems have significant difference in overweighting and normal children (p<0/05) and this difference was observed in Conduct and Oppositional Defiant problems, whereas there wasn`t significant difference between Attention Deficiency-Hyperactivity Disorders and Oppositional Defiant problems (p>0/05). Conclusion: According to the results of this research awareness and parents attitude changing is needed in prevention of overweighting and obesity and finally behavioral problems. As deviation of normal weight is related to risky and inappropriate behaviors, on-time interventions and appropriate planning are necessary and effective at childhood sensitive period.
