Abstract
The problem of obesity becomes more and more urgent due to its rising incidence and unfavourable effects on health of both children and adults. Various factors leading to an increased energy consumption while its output is reduced at different periods of life (from conception to adulthood) are considered in the article. Different ways of exogenous-constitutional obesity prevention in children and adolescents are described. Influence of phones/television/computers on the formation of hypodynamia and inadequate nutrition which can result in an excess body weight and obesity is characterized. The significance of behavioral response in the pathogenesis of obesity which should be considered while developing preventive methods is stressed. Thus, the problem of obesity requires further studies and discussion.
