[Management of obesity in schoolchildren and adolescents]
Abstract:
Pediatric obesity is a pathological process explained by genetic susceptibility, inappropriate diet, sedentary life patterns, and other environmental factors. It is related with psychological disturbances and chronic diseases in childhood or later in adulthood. Obesity prevention must start early in life and requires lifestyle multicomponent intervention (diet, physical activity and behavior), include children, family, and community, and offered in the primary health care service by the healthcare staff (physicians, nurses, dietists, and psychologists). Obesity treatment may include in addition other treatment alternatives. It must be provided by physicians, to simultaneously treat obesity and the associated morbidity. Pediatric obesity is a global problem, and its management has not been effective. Therefore, scientific research must be involved to identify new management options.
