NHS Highland has said rates of obese and overweight young children continue to be higher in its area than across Scotland as a whole.
Health workers warned a year ago that 25% of P1 pupils in the health board's area had a Body Mass Index above the level which was deemed to be healthy.
The report said the national average for children being classified as overweight or obese was 21%.
