However, it is unknown whether BMI\u2010screening in school children reduces the incidence of overweight and obesity. We aimed to summarise the knowledge on positive and negative consequences on BMI and weight\u2010related perceptions and behaviours of BMI\u2010screening followed by an intervention to prevent and\/or address obesity. We performed a systematic literature search, April 2023, using the PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar databases. We included randomised controlled trials and observational studies, including children aged 6 to 18\u2009years and examining BMI\u2010screening in a school setting. The primary outcome measures were BMI and weight status. Secondary outcome measures were weight\u2010related perceptions and behaviours. Three studies met the inclusion criteria; two randomised controlled trials and one observational study. All studies used BMI\u2010screening followed by sending report cards to the parents. None of the studies found a change in BMI <jats:italic>z<\/jats:italic>\u2010scores in school children. Screening could cause transitory body\u2010dissatisfaction and increase peer weight talk, yet potentially reduce problematic weight behaviours like skipping meals or excessive dieting. Reporting BMI to parents may influence their perception of their children's weight status, but does not change behaviour. The sparse evidence available suggested that BMI screening followed by sending report cards to parents does not change BMI <jats:italic>z<\/jats:italic>\u2010scores among children in primary, middle and high school. Studies using appropriate evidence\u2010based weight management interventions as a follow\u2010up are lacking. Such studies may improve future prevention, detection and treatment of weight\u2010related issues.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/cob.12639","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,11]],"date-time":"2024-01-11T03:49:16Z","timestamp":1704944956000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Review
