[The implications of nutrition in the obesity of children and adolescents]
Abstract
Obesity is currently the most prevalent nutritional disease of children and adolescents and a common health problem. Besides the bio-ecologic and socio-economic factors (genetical, professional, cultural, educational), the exogenous factors (nutritional) have a pro-obesity action by increasing the caloric intake determining energy imbalance. The authors present the role of nutrition in the occurrence of obesity in children and adolescents and its role in the treatment of the disease.
