[Children obesity and its metabolic outcomes].
According to current statistics, there are, at an average child's general practice about seventy children registered with obesity, including fifty children indicated for long-term treatment of obesity due to medical indications, fifteen children are intended for targeted modifications in their diet, and in almost every practice there is a child with a pathognomonic obesity. Currently, we are exposed to food-borne pandemic coupled polygenic obesity, which is a chronic metabolic disease with societal consequences. Alimentary obesity mainly reflects an early onset of cardio-metabolic risk, but the clinical picture of complications of childhood obesity is broader and includes not only the risk of life-limitation, but also respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological, orthopaedic and endocrine complications along with serious psychosocial problems. The effects caused by childhood obesity are reversible initially, and early identification and treatment is a major clinical challenge in preventing the development of serious metabolic, organ, psychological and societal complications.
