[Nutrition and physical activity of obese and properly nourished children].
The aim of the study which included 2297 children (aged 5-18), was to determine the role of nutrition and physical activity in the occurrence of obesity in this population. Nutritional status of children was estimated by body mass index. In order to examine nutrition we used a quantitative questionnaire, and physical activity was examined by a specially designed questionnaire (made according to the WHO recommendations). The obtained results showed that abundant nutrition and insufficient physical activity played a significant role in the occurrence of child obesity.
