Abstract

Obesity is defined as an excessively high, health risking amount of body fat in relation to lean body mass. In developing nations as well as developed nations, prevalence of overweight children and obesity in childhood has been on the rise. While, in industrial nations, obesity and overweight are common problems for children in lower socioeconomic groups and rural areas, it is noteworthy that widespread prevalence of obesity is much more common in children who are from higher socioeconomic groups and urban areas in developing nations. Economical development of a society, modernization, urbanization, utilization of the mass media and the marketing of food products have brought about a rise in childhood obesity, which proves to be a serious and constantly growing health problem resulting in further medical, psychological, social and economic problems. Preventive initiatives play a key role in controlling an obesity epidemic. Preventive strategies in obesity mainly focus on changing behaviors of nutrition and physical exercise and require a devoted cooperation of a variety of different factors such as family, school, environmental planning, food production and marketing, mass media, advertisements and politics.

Özet

Obezite; sağlığı bozacak ölçüde yağ dokularında aşırı miktardayağ birikmesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Çocukluk çağında fazla kilolu olma ve obezite prevelansı hem gelişmiş hem de gelişmekte olan toplumlarda artış göstermektedir. Endüstriyel olarak gelişmiş toplumlarda obezite ve fazla kilolu olma, düşük sosyoekonomik düzeyde ve kırsal bölgede yaşayan ailelerin çocuklarında daha yaygın iken, gelişmekte olan toplumlarda ise çocuklarda obezite prevelansının sosyoekonomik düzeyi yüksek ve kentte yaşayan popülasyonda daha yaygın olduğu dikkat çekmektedir. Ekonomik gelişme, modernleşme, kentleşme, medya kullanımı, gıda ürünlerinin pazarlanmasının küreselleşmesi çocuklarda obezite artışını da beraberinde getirmiştir. Çocukluk çağı obezitesi ciddi medikal, psikolojik, sosyal ve ekonomik sonuçları olan ve gittikçe büyüyen bir sağlık sorunudur. Önlem girişimleri obesite epidemisinin kontrol altına alınmasında anahtar roldedir.. Obezitede önlem stratejileri bireyin beslenme ve aktivite davranışlarını değiştirmeye odaklıdır ve aile, okul, çevre planlama, gıda üretimi ve pazarlama, reklam, medya, politika gibi farklı sektörlerin bir arada çalışmasını gerektirir.
