Sažetak
According to a WHO survey (2000-2008), Croatia is one of the countries with the highest obesity rates, ranking 9th with 61.4% of overweight and obese population. As a response, the Croatian government has approved an action plan to combat obesity, to be implemented by 2012. This plan includes various measures, such as encouraging healthy lifestyles, raising awareness about obesity, eliminating junk food from vending machines and labelling healthy foods. In addition, Croatia has adopted an Action on Salt and Health, which includes a salt reduction programme. Another issue identified in Croatia is that about 60% of the population rarely (or never) reads nutritional labels on foods.
