Underweight and obesity in childhood: two extremes, one problem — long-term effects and the need for early intervention
Niedowaga i otyłość u dzieci to istotne zaburzenia stanu odżywienia, które mogą prowadzić do poważnych i długofalowych konsekwencji zdrowotnych — zarówno somatycznych, jak i psychospołecznych. Celem artykułu jest przegląd aktualnej wiedzy na temat skutków obu tych stanów oraz podkreślenie znaczenia wczesnej diagnostyki i działań profilaktycznych. Przedstawiono dane epidemiologiczne z ogólnopolskich badań populacyjnych (OLAF, COSI, HBSC) oraz doświadczenia płynące z realizacji zintegrowanych programów interwencyjnych, takich jak „6-10-14 dla Zdrowia”. Wskazano na potrzebę kompleksowego podejścia do dzieci z zaburzeniami masy ciała — uwzględniającego nie tylko aspekty kliniczne, ale również środowiskowe i emocjonalne — oraz konieczność dalszych badań nad skutecznością narzędzi wczesnej interwencji. Słowa kluczowe: niedowaga otyłość stan odżywienia profilaktyka rozwój dziecka

Body Weight Changes During Childhood and Predictors of Excessive Body Weight in Adolescence—A Longitudinal Analysis
Introduction: Abnormal body weight, including overweight and obesity, is a common health problem affecting children and adolescents. The present study aimed to analyse weight changes in children from preschool age to adolescence and to identify early predictors of excessive weight in adolescence, such as blood pressure and physical fitness observed in preschool children. Methodology: Data from 3075 children (1524 girls and 1594 boys), collected as part of the Gdańsk Centre for Health Promotion’s “Your Child’s Healthy Life” programme, were analysed, with each child assessed at ages 6, 10, and 14. Results: The results indicated that boys were more likely to be overweight, with a tendency for obesity to increase with age. Children who were overweight or obese at age 6 had a higher risk of remaining so for a longer period of time. In addition, low physical fitness (as measured by the KPRT test) and elevated blood pressure were significantly associated with excess body weight. Conclusions: The study underscores the importance of early intervention and consistent monitoring of childhood overweight and obesity to reduce their long-term impact on health.
