Abstract

The aim of the study – to draw the attention of colleagues to the identified risks of childhood obesity and its consequences in the development of the child to adolescence; on timely prevention of childhood obesity, its diagnosis and treatment.

Materials and Methods. The observation was conducted in the city of Zhovti Vody, Dnіpropetrovsk rehion. During the analysis, personal observations and outpatient cards of children living in the same region were used. A comparative retrospective analysis of the development of obesity in children born with a heavy and average weight was carried out. The observation was conducted in the interval from a one-year-old age to 15 years. The observation group consisted of 50 children born in 2001–2002 years, having a large and gigantic mass at birth ( 4–5.7 kg). The control group included same number of children of similar age, born with an average weight.

Results and Discussion. In both groups, the level of obesity was compared in different age periods: breast age, preschool and adolescent. The main comparative criterion was taken body mass index (BMI). The connection between the type of feeding in infancy (breastfeeding or early feeding) and overweight was analyzed, and the probability (prognostic significance) of the hereditary factor in the formation of obesity in subsequent age periods was investigated. Separatory, a comparative analysis of the comorbid pathology at the adolescence period was carried out.

Conclusions. Heavy weight is a clinically significant risk factor for obesity in subsequent age periods, but the hereditary factor gives the highest probability of obesity. The actions of the medical personel should be aimed at promoting healthy lifestyle, antenatal prophylaxis. It is advisable to use foreign experience in combating obesity in practice.
