Childhood obesity is influenced by a complex interplay of factors. These include:
Genetics: A child's genetic makeup can predispose them to obesity. Dietary Habits: High-calorie, low-nutrient foods and sugary beverages contribute to weight gain. Physical Inactivity: Sedentary lifestyles, often exacerbated by screen time, reduce energy expenditure. Environmental Factors: Access to parks, safe walking routes, and recreational facilities influences physical activity levels. Socioeconomic Status: Limited access to healthy foods and healthcare can exacerbate the risk of obesity.
