Sažetak
In order to combat this alarming epidemic, overweight and obesity should be monitored systematically during childhood and adolescence, and action (prevention and treatment) should be taken, both on the individual and population level. Most European countries have a school health service network, in which the health of nearly all children is checked on a regular basis during school age. Therefore, these services are key-players for the primary prevention and early detection of ill health and developmental problems in general, and of overweight and obesity during childhood in particular
