Abstract

The prevalence of obesity, defined as increased amount of body fat, varies according to race, age, and sex. Obesity prevalence in children and adolescents increases worldwide. The most important reason for the increase is, along with developing technology, limitation of activity, and alterations in nutritional habits and food preferences of the children. Although there is imbalance of calorie intake and utilization in the etiologyof obesity, genetic factors as in monogenic obesity, hundreds of environmental factors known as endocrine destructors, changes in intestinal microbiota, and hormonal factors are also accused. Body mass index (BMI), a simple, practical, cheap, and safe method, is used in the diagnosis of obesity in children. Obesity occurring in early period causes serious complications such as, type 2 diabetes mellitus, non-alcoholic hepatosteatosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and cardiovascular diseases. Although the basic step in the treatment pf obesity in children is life-style regulations, pharmacotherapy or surgical treatment are also recommended, if there are serious obesity complications.Key Words: Childhood, obesity, risk factors, prevalence, treatment

Özet

Vücutta artmış yağ miktarı olarak tanımlanan obezitenin sıklığı ırk, yaş, cinsiyete göre değişiklik gösterir. Çocuk ve adölesanlarda obezite prevalansı dünya çapında artış göstermektedir. Bu artışın en önemli sebebi ise, gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte çocukların hareketliliklerin kısıtlanması, beslenme alışkanlıklarının ve besin tercihlerinin değişmesidir. Obezite etyolojisinde kalori alımı ve kullanımı arasındaki denge bozukluğu olsa da monogenik obezitede olduğu gibi genetik faktörler, endokrin yıkıcılar olarak bilinen yüzlerce çevresel faktör, barsak microbiatasındaki değişiklikler ve hormonal faktörler de suçlanmaktadır Çocuklarda obezitenin tanısında basit, uygulanabilir, ucuz ve güvenli bir yöntem olan vücut kitle indeksi (VKI) kullanılmaktadır. Erken dönemde ortaya çıkan obezite tip 2 diabetes mellitus, non alkolik hepatosteatoz, hipertansiyon, hiperlipidemi ve kardiyovasküler hastalıklar gibi ciddi komplikasyonlara neden olmaktadır. Çocuklarda obezite tedavisinin temel basamağı yaşam tarzının düzenlenmesi olmasına rağmen ciddi obezite komplikasyonları varsa farmakoterapi veya cerrahi tedavi de önerilebilirAnahtar Kelimeler: Çocukluk çağı, obezite, risk faktörleri, prevalans, tedavi
