Abstract (english)

The influence of vegetarian and vegan diet on children’s health has been discussed not only by pediatricians
but also by other professionals who take care of children. Therefore, the aim of this recommendations, based on presented
and summarized scientific evidences on the effect of vegetarian and vegan diet on children’s and adolescents’ health,
was to state the instructions of the Croatian Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition of the
Croatian Medical Association. Vegetarian, and especially vegan diet, is not only the omission of meat and other food of
animal origin, but has to represent balanced nutrition adjusted for children. Such a child requires continuous supervision
not only by primary health physician but also by pediatric nutritionist, who both have to be specially educated in the
field. As restrictions in diet significantly increase the risk for nutritional deficiencies, parents who decide to follow such
a diet, and all professionals who take care of such children, have to be aware of possible nutritional risks that are much
bigger than in adulthood.

Abstract (croatian)

Utjecaj vegetarijanske i veganske prehrane na zdravlje djece sve češće razmatraju ne samo pedijatri nego i
drugi stručnjaci koji se bave zbrinjavanjem djece. Zato je cilj ovih smjernica, na temelju predočenih i sažetih znanstvenih
dokaza o učinku vegetarijanske i veganske prehrane na zdravlje djece i adolescenata, iznijeti upute Hrvatskog
društva za pedijatrijsku gastroenterologiju, hepatologiju i prehranu Hrvatskoga liječničkog zbora. Vegetarijanska, a
posebice veganska prehrana, ne znači samo dokidanje mesa ili namirnica životinjskog podrijetla, već mora biti uravnotežena
prehrana prilagođena djetetu. Ovakvo dijete iziskuje kontinuirani nadzor i ovlaštenog liječnika primarne zdravstvene
zaštite i pedijatrijskog nutricionista, pri čemu obojica u tom pogledu moraju biti posebno educirani. Budući da
ograničavanje broja namirnica koje dijete konzumira znatno povisuje rizik od nutritivnog deficita, roditelji koji se
odluče
na ovakvu prehranu i svi profesionalci koji zbrinjavaju ovu djecu moraju biti svjesni mogućih nutritivnih rizika
koji su u dječjoj dobi puno viši nego u odraslih.
