The prevalence of overweight and obesity is still increasing, even among children. In this dissertation it shall be examined by means of a group of 2162 overweight and obese children, who completed a four-to-six-week stationary rehabilitation, what cardiovascular risk factors can be found in addition to increased body weight, and how they can be influenced by the intervention programme. The retrospective analysis of data gathered at the beginning and the end of rehabilitation shows that even during these short-term interventions considerable improvement or even normalisation of parameters in question, which initially showed high prevalence of pathologic findings, can be reached.
