Abstract
Evaluation of the life quality, in comparison with traditional medical methods, allows a complete and objective assessment of the patient's health and to develop an integrated and rational approach for treatment. We conducted a survey of 237 obese children and adolescents aged 9 to 17. It was found that life quality of the largest number of children and adolescents, namely 79.3% corresponded to the average level. It was revealed that the quality of life of children and adolescents with complicated forms is much lower than in children with uncomplicated obesity, 62.62% ± 0.43 and 48.26% ± 1.04, respectively. When analyzing individual spheres of life of children and adolescents with this pathology, it was noted that the index of life quality was most influenced by physical and psychoemotional functioning.
