Abstract:
Obesity is a growing global public health problem, while 40%-70% of obesity is determined by genetic factors. This article focuses on the classification, disease characteristics, diagnosis and progressive treatment of childhood genetic obesity. The prevention and control of childhood genetic obesity requires early detection of obese individuals and early screening of obesity causes. At the same time, clinicians are advised to propose individualized therapy and intervention measures based on multi-disciplinary opinions to improve the health of genetic obese children.
