Romania is facing a doubling of diabetes in children under 14, reaching 17 cases per 100,000 children in 2019. Doctors emphasize the link between this increase and fast-food consumption, especially in urban areas, where aggressive marketing targets children. A third of children aged 10 to 15 are overweight, and examples from other European countries, such as the Netherlands and Sweden, highlight the need for systemic measures to tackle childhood obesity and prevent a public health crisis.
