Rising to epidemic proportions globally, pediatric obesity presents a complex mix of genetic, behavioral, and environmental influences. Early onset of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular risks, and psychological effects underscore the need for comprehensive strategies. Interventions include family-centered nutrition counseling, physical activity promotion, and behavioral therapy. Advances in metabolic profiling and digital health tools now allow for personalized weight management programs. Schools, communities, and policymakers all play roles in reversing current trends. Pediatricians emphasize early recognition and prevention, particularly during key growth periods. Pediatric obesity is not merely a cosmetic issue but a multifactorial health condition requiring sustained, interdisciplinary efforts to ensure healthy growth and long-term wellbeing.
