A total of 250 children with constitutional-exogenous obesity were followed up. The stage treatment was carried out on an outpatient and inpatient basis and at sanatoria for 1-3 years. The diets were given depending on the degree of the excess body weight, with different fat/carbohydrate ratios per unit of protein. The authors developed the principles of dietetic management of obese children, the requirements of basic food and energy for different age groups of children, depending on the degree of obesity, and the daily diets providing for the requirements mentioned. Analysis of the follow up study has shown a significantly positive time course of the test clinical, physiological and biochemical characteristics of the children's health status in the course of the management. It is recommended that the principles of the dietetic management of obese children be introduced in wide medical practice.
