Childhood obesity is becoming an increasingly common problem, mainly due to an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, stress and genetic factors. If left untreated, it can lead to serious illnesses in adulthood, such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure, which is why early diagnosis is important. The basis of treatment is a lifestyle change involving a healthy diet, physical activity and adequate sleep. Prevention and the development of good habits from an early age are also of great importance.
