OBJECTIVE
Introduction: Prevention of obesity in childhood is considered one of the main areas of primary prevention of non-infectious diseases. The aim: determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity among school-age children, and analyze the risk of developing concomitant excess body weight and obesity.
METHODS
Materials and methods: The study was conducted among 1103 schoolchildren aged 7-17 years, of which 552 girls (50.1%) and 551 boys (49.9%). Classification of body mass was performed according to body mass index (BMI) according to the centile standards.
RESULTS
Results: Obesity was detected in 75 (6.8%) children, overweight - in 186 (16.9%). The overweight is most prevalent among boys and girls in the age group of 10 years 13.5% and 15.6% respectively, and obesity is among boys in the age group of 11 years (10.4%), and among girls - in age groups 10 and 12 Years (4.2% and 4.1% respectively). According to the odds ratio, the risk of development of autonomic nervous system disorders in children with overweight is 2.1 (95% CI: 0.9-4.8), dyskinesia of biliary tract - 2.5 (95% CI:1.4-4, 5), scoliosis - 1.8 (95% CI: 1.2-2.8), myopia - 2.5 (95% CI: 1.4-4.7), and in children with obesity - 8.9 (95% CI: 4.0-20.0), 4.8 (95% CI: 2.4-9.6), 2.1 (95% CI: 1.2-3.8), and 5,1 (95% CI: 2.6-10.3) respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
Conclusions: Early detection of overweight children, monitoring their health and introducing measures to correct behavioral risk factors for overweight is an urgent and promising direction for optimizing the non-communicable diseases prevention system.
