Çocukluklarda şişmanlığın tedavisi ve önlenmesi

Çocuklarda şişmanlığın son 20-30 yılda tüm dünyada hızlı bir şekilde artışı, primer ve sekonder önlemleri zorunlu hale getirmiştir. Şişmanlık kısa ve uzun vadeli bir çok sorunla birlikte seyredip, her dönemde yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkilemektedir. Çocukluktan erişkinliğe yansımakta, erişkinlerde şişmanlık oranını ve sağlık sorunları arttırmaktadır. Şişmanlığı tedavi edebilmek ya da önleyebilmek, şişmanlığı iyi tanımlamak, nedenlerini bilmek, anlamak ve gündemde tutmakla olasıdır. Şişmanlığın sekonder önlemi, mevcut şişmanları tedavi etmek, bir başka deyişle uygun ağırlığa getirmektir ki, bu alandaki çabalar, ne yazık ki iyi sonuç vermemiştir. Bu nedenle, son yıllarda, geç kalmak pahasına da olsa, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü’nün öncülüğünde birçok ülkede primer önlemler başlatılmıştır. Primer önlemler, sağlıklı beslenme ve fiziksel aktivite alışkanlığı ile aktif bir yaşam biçimini benimsemeyi ve bu yolla şişmanlıktan korunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu makalede, çocuklardaki şişmanlığın tedavisine ve daha önemlisi önlenmesine ilişkin yapılması gerekenlere yer verilmiştir

Prevention and treatment of obesity in children

The increase in childhood obesity in the last two decades all over the world has rendered primary and secondary measures necessary because obesity results in a variety of short and long term health problems and reduces life quality. The treatment or prevention of obesity is only possible by recognition of excessive weight gain, defining the underlying risk factors and keeping it in the spotlight. The secondary measure is treating obesity, which unfortunately has not yielded positive results so far. Therefore, in recent years, establishment of primary measures in many countries in the leadership of World Health Organization have gained more importance. Primary measures aim to prevent obesity by having a more active life style through healthy eating and physical activity habits. In this article, the issues of preventing is and treating childhood obesity have been discussed.
