Abstract

Recently, the guideline for prevention, screening and intervention in respect of overweight in children for the Youth Health Care practice has been published in an abbreviated form in NTvG. Childhood overweight is an important public health problem that requires preventive actions from early age onwards, especially in immigrant groups. Although this guideline provides a basis for (preventive) actions within Youth Health Care, the author argues that a community based approach including specific prevention and intervention strategies for ethnic groups is needed for successful implementation.
