       Currently, the global prevalence of obesity has increased rapidly. The results of the survey of Buddhist Scripture School in Phrae Province, Nan Province, Lampang Province, showed that novice obese and obese increased from 16.19 to 18.02 percent (May 8, 2560). Thai people The prevalence was 45 - 59 years old, 28.4% male and 40.7% female. 2 And from the 4th Thai Health Survey 2008-2009, 12-14 year-old children were prevalent.

       The result showed  that the factors that affect novice obesity are five factors for the age of the ordination. Diets, rice flour, sweet fruits and vegetables were statistically significantly correlated with obesity. The results of the analysis were to find the equation for predicting the use of logistic analysis by factor-related factors.

Predictably 78.7% of the risk of novice obesity found that the novice ordination period was longer than twice (OR = 1.869) or between 1.167 Facts about sweet fruit are more likely to be obesity than those who do not have the sweetness of 1.5 times more (OR = 1.648) or between 1.152 - 2.354 (95% CI).
