Abstract Pretilost je jedna od najčešćih bolesti suvremenog doba te ujedno jedan od vodećih javnozdravstvenih problema 21. stoljeća. Razlog tome jest veliki broj oboljelih koji se povećava svaki dan bez obzira na to što ovo nije zarazna bolest. Zbog nekontroliranog porasta, pretilost je poprimila pandemijski karakter, posebice zbog toga što ima visoku stopu morbiditeta i mortaliteta te sve više troškove liječenja. Velik je broj uzročnika koji djeluju na pojavu pretilost, a oni se kreću od onih na koje se može do onih na koje se ne može utjecati. Isto tako, pretilost je povezana s razvojem brojnih zdravstvenih komplikacija i kroničnih nezaraznih bolesti te stoga osjetno smanjuje kvalitetu života, radnu sposobnost i životni vijek, što je još jedan dokaz da se radi o velikom javnozdravstvenom problemu. Rad obrađuje pretilost kao javnozdravstveni problem. U radu se prikazuje kako je došlo do definiranja pretilosti kao bolesti kroz povijesti. Isto tako, osim što je detaljno prikazana klasifikacija pretilosti, navedeni su i objašnjeni njezini uzročnici, aspekti na koje ona djeluje, ali i stvarno stanje u Republici Hrvatskoj i svijetu. Za kraj, objašnjena je prevencija pretilosti te uloga koju medicinske sestre i tehničari imaju u borbi protiv ove bolesti s neizvjesnim završetkom.
Abstract (english) Obesity is one of the most common diseases of the modern age and at the same time one of the leading public health problems of the 21st century. The reason for this is the large number of patients, which increases every day, regardless of the fact that this is not an infectious disease. Due to the uncontrolled growth, obesity has taken on a pandemic character, especially because it has a high rate of morbidity and mortality and the increasing costs of treatment. There are a large number of factors that affect the appearance of obesity, and they range from those that can be influenced to those that cannot be influenced. Likewise, obesity is associated with the development of numerous health complications and chronic non-communicable diseases and therefore significantly reduces the quality of life, working capacity and life expectancy, which is another proof that it is a major public health problem. The paper deals with obesity as a public health problem. The paper shows how obesity came to be defined as a disease throughout history. Likewise, apart from the classification of obesity being presented in detail, its causes, aspects on which it affects, as well as the actual situation in the Republic of Croatia and the world, are listed and explained. Finally, the prevention of obesity and the role that nurses and technicians play in the fight against this disease with an uncertain outcome are explained.
