Sažetak
The World Health Organization has published results according to which 340 million children were obese in 2016, of which 19% were boys aged 5- 19. Obesity is more prevalent among children than among adolescents. Research conducted in the Republic of Croatia indicates an increasing problem of obesity in the Croatian population. As childhood obesity can result in adult obesity and cause a variety of health problems such as cardiovascular disease, it is important to take care of diet and weight from an early age. The paper presents the results of specific body differences of boys aged 6 to 12 years (BMI, body height, chest, waist and hip girth) in 5 Croatian regions (Goransko-primorska, Slavonia, Central Croatia, Dalmatia and City of Zagreb). In doing so, it was concluded that there are differences in the body structure of boys between regions. The biggest regional differences in girths were observed in the Goransko-primorska region, in 10 and 11-year-olds.
