Inclusion criteria: children aged 3-6 years, with primary obesity: BMI greater than or equal to percentile 95/sex/age, overweight: 85 less than or equal to BMI&lt;95 percentile/sex/age, normal weight: 5 less than or equal to BMI&lt;85 percentile/sex/age, underweight: BMI&lt;5 percentile/sex/age. We took into consideration: anthropometric parameters, feeding habits (food intake, meals), environmental factors (family, kindergarten), and filled-in questionnaires. We developed educational materials for parents, highlighting the importance of physical activity and nutrition (meal plans).ResultsThe prevalence of overweight was 23.3%, obesity 6.2% and underweight 1.4%. Predisposing and determinant factors of underweight were low birth weight, poor socio-economic conditions, incorrect food diversification, poor food intake, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Sweets consumption (dessert, biscuits, chocolate, sodas, ice cream, and/or candy on a daily basis) constituted 38% of the daily average intake of the obese/overweight children; on the other hand, only 3 of 10 preschoolers consume green vegetables daily. 58% obese and 61% overweight preschool-aged children consume junk food (burgers, fried chicken, pizza, chips). 38% of preschool-aged children spend more than 2 hours in front of the television/computer screen every day.ConclusionsPreschoolers are considered a very important target group, since early, healthy eating habits represent the most efficient method to preserve the state of health in the long run.
