CHILD OBESITY. Authors: UGRON ÁGNES. |
||||||
Abstract: CHILD OBESITY. Obesity is an endemic health problem in most developed countries, requiring serious public health attention. The dramatically increasing prevalence of obesity, especially among children, has become a major public health problem in Europe. In reaction to this alarming trend, a series of initiatives and actions has been launched in recent years. Diet and physical activity approaches may improve obese status in the short term. However, obesity interventions appear more effective when strategies are combined, rather than when used in isolation. Psychological interventions, such as behavioural and cognitive behavioural therapy, show promise in achieving the necessary lifestyle changes for obesity reduction. Keywords: obesity, overweight, treatment, physical activity. |
