Abstract:
The rising incidence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has become a significant public health issue both domestically and globally.In South China,the rates of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents are relatively low compared with the national average,thanks to the unique regional climate,culture,and dietary habits,which are conducive to the prevention and control of childhood and adolescent overweight and obesity.This consensus,based on practical experiences in weight management for overweight and obese children and adolescents in South China,in combination with evidence-based medical research,systematically establishes a standardized diagnosis and treatment framework for childhood and adolescent overweight and obesity.It covers core aspects such as diagnosis and assessment,lifestyle interventions,behavioral interventions,pharmacological treatment and traditional Chinese medical therapies.This consensus incorporates regional characteristics into the management framework for childhood and adolescent overweight and obesity,aiming to provide clinicians with scientifically sound and practical guidance,and to offer a regional model for curbing the growing trend of childhood obesity.
