In the forthcoming decades, one can expect an epidemic of obesity among children,
growing number of obese adults as well as complications associated with obesity.
Faced with the problem of overweight and obesity among children and youth, the
fi rst step should be to educate, since it is basic foundation of a healthy lifestyle.
Prevention of obesity should be promoted among parents/guardians and teachers
by dissemination of the correct attitudes at school and at home. Cooperation
between school nurses and school staff involves mutual support, complementing
the school’s objectives as well as protection and promotion of healthy lifestyle of
among students and staff.
