: This study aims to assess the health status and factors influencing healthy choices among children and young people in Romania, as well as the efficacy of related health education programs. Through understanding these dynamics, the study seeks to provide insights that can shape targeted interventions, policies, and educational strategies to improve this demographic's overall health and well-being. : For this study, we performed a literature review of original published papers on the health status, healthy habits, health education, predisposition to making healthy choices in the future, and accessibility to the paediatric health system of Romanian children and young people, as well as the effects of different types of educational interventions on this demographic in Romania. : The prevalence of dental caries is high in Romania. In terms of eating habits and nutritional status, a worrying proportion of children are overweight or obese, which can lead to a variety of future physical and psychological problems. In terms of physical activity, few adolescents demonstrate regular fitness practices. Romania presents an increase in alcohol and tobacco consumption among adolescents. The mental health of students has become a pressing public health concern, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of social networks is linked to mental health issues among young people. Romania still has one of the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases and faces a high incidence of cervical cancer, with a mortality rate three times higher than the EU average. High rates of teenage pregnancies are linked to limited information about sexuality and a lack of access to family planning at a young age. There are large discrepancies in the accessibility of medical services between urban and rural areas. : Romania faces significant obstacles to providing high-quality healthcare to children and young people. Improving nutrition, immunisation rates, and access to medical services represent essential areas for enhancing the health of children and young people in Romania.
: 本研究旨在评估罗马尼亚儿童和青少年的健康状况和影响他们健康选择的因素，以及相关健康教育计划的效果。通过了解这些动态，本研究旨在提供见解，为改善这一年龄段人群的整体健康和福祉提供有针对性的干预、政策和教育策略。: 为此，我们对罗马尼亚儿童和青少年的健康状况、健康习惯、健康教育、未来做出健康选择的倾向以及他们获得儿科保健系统的情况，以及不同类型的教育干预对这一年龄段人群的影响进行了文献综述。: 罗马尼亚的龋齿患病率很高。在饮食习惯和营养状况方面，令人担忧的是，相当一部分儿童超重或肥胖，这可能导致未来出现各种身体和心理问题。在体育活动方面，很少有青少年定期进行健身锻炼。罗马尼亚青少年的酒精和烟草消费呈上升趋势。学生的心理健康已成为一个紧迫的公共卫生问题，新冠疫情加剧了这一问题。社交网络的使用与年轻人的心理健康问题有关。罗马尼亚的性传播疾病发病率仍然很高，面临着高宫颈癌发病率，死亡率是欧盟平均水平的三倍。青少年怀孕率高与性知识有限以及年轻时缺乏计划生育服务有关。城乡地区的医疗服务可及性存在很大差异。: 罗马尼亚在为儿童和青少年提供高质量医疗保健方面面临重大障碍。改善营养、免疫接种率和医疗服务的可及性是增强罗马尼亚儿童和青少年健康的重要领域。
