Children aged 12-14 years had higher median (IQR) right hand grip strength [14.5 (12-22) unit of kg] compared to children aged 10 and 11 years [6 (4-12) unit of kg] and this difference was statistically significant (p less then 0.001). The performance was similar in all tests between boys and girls except for left hand grip strength; boys had higher grip strength compared to girls (p=0.02). In girls, children who belonged to thinner BMI category performed better than obese children in shuttle run test (p=0.03). Conclusion There was a significant difference in physical fitness based on age except in left and right shoulder stretch test. Since the prevalence of overweight/obesity was high in adolescents, creating awareness and enabling environment related to the physical fitness is important.The study aimed to estimate the prevalence and correlates of fruit and vegetable (FV) intake among adolescents in the "2015 Laos Global School-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS)". The study sample consisted of 3,683 school adolescents with a median age of 16 years from Laos that responded to the 2015 cross-sectional GSHS. The prevalence of inadequate fruit consumption ( less then 2/day) was 74.0%, inadequate vegetable consumption ( less then 3/day) 78.5%, and inadequate FV consumption ( less then 5/day) 83.7%. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, physical inactivity (adjusted odds ratio = AOR 1.43, 95% confidence interval=CI, 1.061.93) was positively, and being overweight or obese (AOR 0.65; 95% CI, 0.450.95), soft drink consumption (AOR 0.55; 95% CI, 0.440.69), fast food consumption (AOR 0.59; 95% CI, 0.470.74), and peer support (AOR 0.69; 95% CI, 0.540.88) were negatively associated with inadequate FV consumption. A high proportion of inadequate FV consumption was found and strategies to increase FV consumption in this population may take into account sociodemo
