Abstract	The present study focused on the study of body image and overweight and obesity in Indian children and adolescents. This investigation involved 395 participants (212 males and 183 females) from Karbi Anglong, Assam, aged between 8 and 15 years (12.16 ± 2.01). The instrument used was Stunkard's et al. silhouettes. 37.3% men and 22.4% women were classified as overweight/obese (χ =13.033; p=.001; d=0.63). Regarding body image, 82.3% were dissatisfied with their body, highlighting those who would like to be larger (men 62.7% and women 49.7%). Therefore, the problem of body dissatisfaction had a higher prevalence than the physiological problem of obesity. It is recommended to implement physical activity programs to improve body image and body composition of children and adolescents in Assam.
