Item Obesity – complications on the body in children and adults(CEP USM, 2024) Corman, Mariana; Pogorletchi, Ala; Mihailov, NataliaThe studies published in the last decades on the official platforms of the WHO and EUROSTAT demonstrate that, both among children and adults, the incidence of obesity has tripled. Obesity is a multifactorial condition that affects all vital organ systems of the body and significantly affects health and quality of life. Researchers in the field report that approximately 30% of children and 50% - 70% of adults with obesity associate at least one cardiovascular risk factor, diabetes co morbidity is present in 1% - 8% of obese children and approximately 45% of obese adults and approximately 25-30% of obese children may develop metabolic syndrome. Obesity also directly affects the musculoskeletal system, causing a number of problems related to posture and bone and joint health. At the same time, it is well known that from 40% to 80% of obese children remain obese in adulthood. Thus, obesity remains a major public health problem, being associated with long-term complications, such as cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, osteoarticular diseases.Collection Collection Collection Collection Collection Collection Collection
