Abstract: According to the World Health Organization (2016), 1.9 billion people worldwide (every fourth) are overweight or obese. Insulin resistance is a complex multifactorial process based on the interaction of genetic, hormonal and external factors. Insulin resistance is called one of the main causes of obesity and a trigger for type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary heart disease, liver and kidney disease, infertility in women, erectile dysfunction in men and even Alzheimer's disease. Modern lifestyle characterized by a sedentary lifestyle, high-calorie diet and stress increases the risk of developing insulin resistance. It is important to study how these factors affect children in order to develop effective preventive measures.
