In recent years, there has been increasing talk of eating disorders such as obesity and malnutrition, which unfortunately occur as early as childhood. Childhood obesity has become a problem of epidemic proportions in recent decades. Based on the continuous monitoring of the nutritional status and quality of nutrition of the population, the European Institute for Public Health is even more concerned about the fact that in the last 30 years the incidence of obesity in school-age children has tripled.
More and more scientific research has been conducted on the pediatric population that shows a clear link between childhood obesity and risk factors for the development of cardiovascular and other chronic diseases in adulthood. What is extremely important to note is the fact that overweight children are more likely to become overweight adults. The other side of the same problem is childhood malnutrition, which very often during adolescence can result in severe eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia or nervousness.
Nutritional testing will analyze the eating habits, quality of nutrition of children and families and will determine the nutritional needs of children based on which we will conceptualize nutritional recommendations and guide and educate parents and children about the possible need for change. Proper and balanced nutrition is the key to a happy and healthy life of a child.
