Abstract
Prevention of childhood obesity and of its complications is an increasingly important public health priority. During 2002-2003 a network of family paediatricians working in the territory of a local health organisation in Rome (Italy) was created, in order to evaluate the health status of obese children. A preferential diagnostic and therapeutic management workup procedure was then developed for these patients at the Paediatrics department of the "Policlinico Tor Vergata" (PTV) university teaching hospital in Rome (Italy).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
