Health is a condition of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of illness or disability. Health is not something one receives but something one has to work and strive towards. This presupposes active efforts from the individual, the family, and the community. In the chain of causative factors and pathological processes which can lead to illness, disability, and death, there are many links, some known and some unknown. Our resources and means must be applied at that point in the causative chain where the best prospects lie for reducing the incidence of illness, disability, and death. Diseases due lifestyle and environmental factors now dominate our health statistics. Material standards of living and personal philosophy of life bear a close relationship to the origin and development of these diseases. In that respect, regular physical activity is seen as an essential component in a lifestyle which itself is the basis for the health promoting idea. In our review we look into physical activity and its influence on health.

Zdrowie to stan pełnego fizycznego, umysłowego i społecznego dobrostanu, a nie tylko brak choroby czy kalectwa. Nie jest to coś, co się dostaje, lecz coś, na co trzeba pracować i o co trzeba się starać. Implikuje to konieczność podejmowania aktywnych wysiłków przez pojedynczych ludzi, rodziny i społeczności. W łańcuchu czynników sprawczych i procesów patologicznych prowadzących do choroby, kalectwa i zgonu, jest wiele ogniw, znanych nam i nieznanych. Nasze wysiłki należy skoncentrować na tym punkcie owego łańcucha przyczynowego, w którym istnieją najlepiej rokujące perspektywy zmniejszenia prawdopodobieństwa zapadalności na choroby, zapobiegania kalectwu i zgonom. Chorobogenny styl życia i czynniki środowiskowe dominują obecnie w naszych statystykach zdrowotności. Materialne warunki życia i filozofia osobista leżą u podstaw powstawania i rozwoju chorób. Pod tym względem, regularna aktywność fizyczna uważana jest za podstawowy składnik stylu życia, będący podstawą idei promowania zdrowia. W artykule omówiono aktywność fizyczną i jej wpływ na zdrowie.

A comprehensive review about the current situation in obesity and its consequences. The au-thors in the first parts of the paper define obesity, describe the methods for assessment of obesity and the amount of fat in the body and discuss the question if obesity itself is a disease or not. Ac-cording to their view obesity is not a disease but a pathological condition caused by a disturbance of appetite regulation, as well as a gateway to many diseases. In the next part they present the most important data about the epidemiology of obesity in the world and in Europe. The consequences of obesity depend on the distribution pattern of the fat in the human body. Upper body obesity associated with visceral accumulation of fat is more dangerous as compared with mild gluteal obesity in young women. The subsequent chapters copmprise a simple overview of the pathogensis of obesity from the point of view of the energy metabolism and the genetic, epige-netic and environmental factors involved in the development of obesity. The consequences of obesity heavily increase health care and indirect economic costs in rich countries. The most important among these are type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary heart diseas, hy-pertension, stroke and gout. The treatment of obesity is often a troublesome and frutrating process both for health-care providers and the affected people. Therefore the psychological and social aspects of overeating are of crucial importance to understand obesity and to elaborate successful ways to prevent it.
