Abstract

Pediatric obesity has emerged as a significant public health issue, characterized by excessive body weight and associated metabolic disorders in children and adolescents. This article reviews the prevalence, risk factors, and health consequences of pediatric obesity and its link to metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The increasing incidence of these conditions underscores the urgent need for effective prevention and intervention strategies. Addressing pediatric obesity requires a multi-faceted approach involving parents, healthcare providers, schools, and communities to foster healthier environments and promote physical activity and balanced nutrition.
