NUTRITION CCS is a cross-sectional, descriptive study to assess the relationship between body composition and demographic, socioeconomic status, treatment modalities and blood samples of survivors who were in remission. Objectives of the study 1. to determine the prevalence (incidence) of nutritional disorders, especially obesity and metabolic syndrome, in cured paediatric cancer patients in adulthood; 2. to investigate the role of adipokines in the development of cardiometabolic complications in this group of patients; 3. to determine whether targeted dietary and lifestyle interventions can lead to improvements in nutritional status and subjectively perceived quality of life of treated paediatric cancer patients in adulthood and objectively assessed cardiometabolic risk
