In Montenegro, more and more children are obese

Every third child in Montenegro in the age group from 6 to 11 years old is overweight until obesity. Such data was published by the Institute of Public Health.

According to doctors, more children are more likely to be overweight in cities, boys, a little more often than girls.

Physicians are very concerned about this fact, since obesity along with cardiovascular diseases and cancer is a frequent cause of death.

The main problem, according to the conclusion of doctors, is a sedentary lifestyle and improper diet in the garden, at school and at home. Children more often eat fast food, carbonated, sweet drinks, and very few fruits and vegetables.

In children with excess body weight, higher blood pressure and signs of metabolic disorders are observed, doctors say.

Experts of the Institute regretfully state that the number of people with this diagnosis in the country is growing every year.
