Results. The analysis of outpatient records and examination results was carried out. Significant risk factors and causes of overweight have been identified. Conclusions. A significant influence on the formation of overweight in childhood is caused by a burdened hereditary history, the threat of termination of pregnancy and cesarean section. The age of onset of the disease was revealed to be 7 years old. The main reasons for the increase in body weight at this age were: a sedentary lifestyle, a change in the nature of nutrition and the presence of stressful situations.
