Abstract

Pretilost postaje jedan od ključnih problema javnog zdravstva te je zbog toga sve veći broj istraživanja vezanih za pretilost. Još veća zabrinutost javlja se pri pretilosti djece, kao ozbiljan zdravstveni problem koji stvara predispozicije za kronična oboljenja u kasnijoj životnoj dobi. Društveni čimbenici imaju najsnažniji utjecaj na način prehrane i životni stil te samim time na razvoj pretilosti. Kultura u kojoj živimo obuhvaća i utjecaj roditelja, njihovo obrazovanje, socio-ekonomski status kao čimbenike koji uvjetuju pojavu pretilosti. Zatim, utjecaj okoline, odnosno međusoban utjecaj djece i stvaranje stereotipa, te utjecaj medija značajni su pri ostvarivanju prehrambenih navika. Osim samog načina prehrane, na pretilost utječe i smanjenje tjelesne aktivnosti, čemu pogoduju nesigurna susjedstva i sjedilački način života. Način prehrane određen kulturom, teško je mijenjati međutim društvo može uvođenjem promjena prevenirati daljnji porast prevalencije pretilosti. Rad je pregled dosadašnjih istraživanja i radova na temu pretilosti kod djece.
