obesity; children; adolescent; prevalence; incidenceAbstract
The prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has increased significantly and steadily over the past decades. The level of detection of obesity depends on the alertness of primary care doctors, as well as on the attitude of parents to this problem, who for a long time do not pay attention to the child’s obesity, considering it a manifestation of excellent health and development.
The purpose of the study is to analyze the prevalence and incidence of obesity among children and adolescents based on referral rates among the population of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2018-2022. according to the SSV reporting form No. 13.
Results. In 2022, 13,743 cases of obesity in the age group of 0–17 years were registered throughout the country; over the course of 2018–2022, the number of obesity cases increased by 23.8%. In 2022, 62.2% of cases were reported among children aged 0–14 years, and 37.8% in children aged 15–17 years.
In dynamics for 2018–2022, there is a tendency for obesity to increase among children aged 0-14 years by 25.6%, among children aged 15–17 years by 20.9%.
Conclusion. The trend in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in the child population of Uzbekistan corresponds to the global epidemiological situation and requires strengthening of preventive measures. At the same time, it is worth strengthening the stages of early detection of obesity at the primary care level.
