[Prevention of obesity among children and adolescents--proposal for a strategy].
The Danish Fitness and Nutrition Council has evaluated the basis for recommending strategies to prevent obesity among children and adolescents. There is limited evidence of a preventive effect from large population based interventions. It is possible, though, to change to a healthier lifestyle. Currently, many different Administrations conduct interventions against obesity, and it is suggested that an independent authority should be established whose primary aim is to reduce the prevalence of obesity and which will be responsible for the effort against obesity.
