Childhood Obesity: Causes and Prevention
Childhood obesity is a condition in which excess body fat adversely affects a child’s health and wellbeing. Recognized as a critical public health issue, childhood obesity is increasingly prevalent and linked to numerous negative health outcomes. It can lead to conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, early-onset heart disease, and skin issues like heat rash, fungal infections, and acne. The primary causes of childhood obesity include unhealthy lifestyle habits, lack of physical activity, and high caloric intake from food and beverages, though genetics and hormonal factors may also play a role.Depression
