VIDEO: Obezitatea la copii și semnele la care trebuie să fie atenți părinții. Dr. Anca Bălănescu, medic specialist în pediatrie și sindrom metabolic: „Mediul din jurul nostru este obezogen. Totul este împotriva biologiei noastre”

Dr. Anca Bălănescu emphasizes the need for parents to actively monitor their children's growth and development, as childhood obesity requires different evaluation methods than in adults. She highlights that a normal BMI does not always indicate a healthy weight and warns about the obesogenic environment surrounding children. Parents should be vigilant for signs of excess weight and seek medical advice early, as many children only visit doctors due to complications from obesity. Bălănescu also stresses the importance of a healthy lifestyle for mothers before and during pregnancy, as it can influence the child's predisposition to obesity. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for effective treatment.
