Descrizione dell’editore

The prevalence of overweight and obesity among children, adolescents and adults appears to be increasing, both in Europe and the USA. (1-3) According to some research data, approximately 31% of children and adolescents (age 6-19 years) worldwide are overweight, while other studies state that 25% of the adolescent population (age 14-17) is overweight. (4,5) Figures are similar for the USA and Europe. (3) Research in Croatia showed 41% of the study population 18-65 years of age to be overweight. (6) Although there are minor differences, all the studies we reviewed have shown significant proportions of overweight adolescents, with the prevalence increasing over the past 30 years. (1,7,8)
