Abstract:
Abstract:Childhood obesity is a serious public health issue that needs to be urgently tackled. Although studies in preventive intervention for childhood obesity have made some progress, challenges remain in terms of parental engagement and intervention fidelity. This editorial calls for more obesity intervention studies at the preschool or even the preconception stage, develops intervention models that are applicable in distinct regions and are effective in large populations, and systematically reviews associated factors of childhood obesity from genetical, psychological, and behavioral perspectives. It provides insights for personalized preventive interventions for childhood obesity based on individual characteristics.
