Popis: Background: The rate of childhood overweight and obesity is increasing in all countries. Overweight in children represents a very dangerous tendencybecause for long term it may cause serious health problems such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, various forms of cancer andother major chronic diseases, which are generating premature mortality and long-term morbidity.Material and methods: It has been carried out a secondary study, a narrative review of scientific bibliographical sources dedicated to the problem ofobesity in children. The analysis is based on 50 literary sources of foreign authors USA, Great Britain, Romania, Russia, the Netherlands, Slovenia,Croatia, France, Germany and Italy and international organizations, published in the period 2000-2014.Results: Globally, it is estimated that 170 million children under 18 years old are overweight. About 60% of obese children become obese adults. Inthe Republic of Moldova the statistical records on overweight and obesity among children are incomplete. Many studies show that obesity in childrenis characteristic for school age, being registered a rate of 10-30%. In order to determine if the excess of adipose tissue can cause health problems it isnecessary to calculate the BMI 2-20 years/age/sex according to nomograms CDC 2000 and perform additional investigations: abdominal, tricipital andsubscapular skinfold measurement, abdominal circumference, hip circumference, relation between abdomen and hip circumference, determination ofadipose tissue percentage by advanced methods, evaluation of nutrition, physical activities and family background. Obesity in children is a risk factorfor cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea syndrome, depressions, some forms of cancer, behavioral problems at school andlow self-esteem. The performed studies show that the obesity occurred in childhood leads to the decrease of life expectancy due to the complicationsit determines.Conclusions: Overweight children face multiple health problems, social and psychological problems. The problem of obesity has a major contributionto the global burden of chronic diseases, with serious social and psychological implications. Thus, research on overweight and obesity in children, witha stress on prevention, has a high priority.
