ABSTRACT

Obesity in schoolchildren has become a severe global health problem. Schoolchildren with excessive body weight increase by the numbers with each passing day. Excessive body weight, and obesity as the most extreme form of this problem, can be cause for group rejection, insufficient school performance, and school dropout. Obesity in schoolchildren also places the child | adolescent at increased risk of insulin resistance, and with it, Diabetes, blood hypertension, and other facets of the Metabolic Syndrome. There might be several reasons for epidemic expansion of obesity in schoolchildren, and they might overlap in their influence. The family, as the core of the schoolchild’s life, is determinant for the formation of healthy life, food and physical activity styles. The school should also promote among the students proper ways of food and physical activity by teaching sound choices concerning food selection, menus conformation, and practice of physical exercise. Obesogenic environments in which the schoolchild might be involved should be identified and corrected in order to prevent deletereal influences upon his/her future health status. The parents of the schoolchild should be reeducated in healthy food and physical activity practices for them in turn to be able to influence upon the education of their children. Similarly, health care teams should be educated and trained, and endowed with the required competences, in order to successfully deal with obesity in schoolchildren, and hence, to protect the genetic potential of the country. Lastly, a legislation is required that incorporates the principles of healthy food and allows the safe and sustainable access of the schoolchild and his/her parents to healthy and innocuous foods. Coping with non-communicable chronic diseases might only be posible through the articulation of common work and intervention interests and strategies, in order to protect the health status of the children and youths of the country.
