A body max index (BMI) is measured to determine the students' obesity as grade I, grade II and grade III. Content validity of the questionnaire is determined through panel of experts and the internal consistency reliability is determined for the study questionnaire with a split-half technique Cronbach alpha correlation coefficient is computed for such reliability. Findings indicate that the correlation coefficient is (r=0.87) which is considered adequate for the reliability of the questionnaire as measure for the phenomenon underlying the study. Data are collected through the use of the study instrument and the interview technique as means for data collection for the period of February 21st 2017 to March 20th 2017.

In the present work, Uranium (238U), Thorium (232Th) and Potassium (40K) specific activity concentration in (Bq/kg) was measured in five different types for wheat flours that are available in the Iraqi markets. The gamma spectrometry method with an NaI (Tl) detector has been used for radiometric measurements. Calculations of radium equivalent activity, annual effective dose equivalent, external hazard index (Hex), internal hazard index (Hin), representing gamma index and gamma dose rate in all  flour samples were 17.98132 Bq/kg, 0.0100334, 0.04502, 0.04857, 0.06872, 0.125883 and 8.181244 respectively.
