摘要：AbstractThe paper analyses implications of overweight and obesity over the psychological picture of children at the age of preadolescence. Child obesity and overweight represent a major health issue in today's society with complex implications on medical, social and psychological perspectives. The study included 52 children aged 9-14, with average age 11.92, SD=1.497, Body Mass Index ≥ 95 percentiles, corresponding to obesity. It is pointed out the presence of boy image dissatisfaction, relational-adaptive difficulties, depressive vulnerability, and emotional eating behavior providing arguments in favor of the necessity of therapeutic intervention aimed to the psychological needs of obese children.
