Abstract

The aim of this paper was to determine the quality of life of primary school pupils with regard to their nutritional status. A statistically significant difference was found in the self-assessment of quality of life between the pupils whose nutritional status is normal and those who are obese. Timely early interventions, which have a positive impact on general health status, could increase the level of children’s quality of life.
