About this Research Topic
Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, leading to a surge in metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, fatty liver disease among children. The rising prevalence of these conditions necessitates innovative strategies at individual’s and societal levels. This research topic explores novel therapeutic approaches that can be implemented in clinical and community settings and be sustainable for the society.
In this Research Topic, we aim to create a forum for new insights into childhood obesity treatment and management covering areas such novel nutritional strategies, child-friendly exercise programs, drugs, and policy recommendations.
We welcome submissions of original research articles, review articles, opinions, and perspectives in the following subtopics, but not limited to:
Strategies to improve dietary Habits in Children
The impact of specific dietary components (e.g., fiber, probiotics, polyunsaturated fats) on weight management and metabolic health
The role of meal timing and frequency in managing obesity and metabolic disorders
Development and evaluation of child-friendly exercise programs
New drug therapies
Preventive and treatment intervention in communities
Recommendations for policy changes to support healthier dietary habits in children
Strategies for integrating novel approaches into existing healthcare frameworks
This Research Topic will significantly contribute to the field of pediatric health and provide crucial insights for combating the growing epidemic of childhood obesity and metabolic diseases.
