OMS recomandă schimbarea stilului de viață în locul medicamentelor pentru slăbit în combaterea obezității infantile

The World Health Organization recommends healthy eating, physical activity, and behavioral counseling over medications for childhood obesity. This guidance is part of new global recommendations addressing rising obesity rates among young children. For children under 10, lifestyle changes should be prioritized, while medications may be considered for adolescents aged 10-19 after other interventions fail. The WHO emphasizes that access to healthy food and physical activity is crucial for all families, as medical treatments alone cannot solve the obesity epidemic. Current data shows a significant increase in childhood obesity, necessitating early prevention measures.
