Abstract

Rad se bavi aktualnom temom pretilost kod djece rane i predškolske dobi. Pretilost je postala globalni problem koji ima veliki utjecaj na zdravlje i dobrobit ljudi u svijetu. Ona se definira kao stanje prekomjernog nakupljanja masnog tkiva u organizmu, što može negativno utjecati na zdravlje. Ovaj izazov ima veliki značaj, jer prekomjerna tjelesna težina kod djece može izazvati dugotrajne posljedice po zdravlje djeteta te se samim time povećava vjerojatnost za razvoj kroničnih bolesti tokom cijelog života. Posebno uznemirujuća činjenica je da prekomjerna tjelesna težina dovodi do zdravstvenih teškoća u dječjoj dobi, a koje su nekad bile povezane s problemima karakterističnim za odraslu dob. Navike koje doprinose povećanju incidencije pretilosti su konzumacija hrane bogate kalorijama, unos hrane i pića bez značajne nutritivne vrijednosti, nedostatak tjelesne aktivnosti, sjedilački način života i slično. Globalno je uobičajeno da ljudi vode pasivan životni stil, što direktno dovodi do smanjenja potrošnje energije i posljedičnog porasta tjelesne mase. Djeca koja se bore s izazovom prekomjerne težine suočavaju se s različitim poteškoćama i izvorima pritiska koji mogu imati utjecaj na njihov osjećaj vlastite vrijednosti, emocionalno stanje i međuljudske odnose. Zbog toga je vrlo važno da u liječenju pretilosti djetetu omogućimo psihološku potporu i motivaciju te da u cijeli proces bude uključena obitelj, ali i predškolska ustanova.

Abstract (english)

The paper deals with the current topic of obesity in children of early and preschool age. Obesity became a global problem that has a major impact on the health and well-being of people around the world. It is defined as a state of excessive accumulation of body mass, which can negatively affect people´s health. This challenge is of great importance because obesity in children can cause long-term consequences for their health, thus increasing the likelihood of developing chronic diseases throughout life. A particularly disturbing fact is that being overweight leads to health problems among children that were associated only with older age. Habits that contribute to obesity are the consumption of food rich in calories, intake of food and drinks without significant nutritional value, lack of physical activity, and sedentary lifestyle. Globally, it is common for people to have an inactive lifestyle, which directly leads to a decrease in energy consumption and an increase in body mass. Children struggling with the challenge of being overweight face a variety of difficulties and sources of pressure that can have an impact on their sense of self-esteem, emotional state and interpersonal relationships. Consequently, it is very important to provide the child with psychological support and motivation in the treatment of obesity which involves the family and kindergarten in the entire process.
