Abstract
Çocukluk çağı obezitesi de erişkin obezitesi gibi artan bir prevalansa sahiptir. Bu artan prevalansın nedeni olarak diyet kompozisyonundaki değişiklik ve hareket miktarındaki azalma sorumlu tutulmaktadır.Ayrıca hem ailelerin ve hem de hekimlerin obeziteyi tedavi etme gereğini göz ardı etmekte olmaları ve değişen yaşam şartları obeziteyi yaygın bir sağlık sorunu haline getirmektedir. Obezite önümüzdeki yılların önemli bir halk sağlığı problemi olmaya devam edecek gibi görünmektedir

Abstract
Just like increase in adult obesity, the prevalence of childhood obesity is also on the rise. Changes in dietary composition and a decrease in the amount of motion are held responsible for this increase in prevalence. Apart from these, obesity is becoming a common health problem because of changing life styles and the lack of treatment due to the ignorence of both parents and physicians. Obesity seems to continue to be an important public health problem in future.
