LIFESTYLE DETERMINANTS AND HEALTH OUTCOMES ASSOCIATED WITH CHILDHOOD OBESITY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF CURRENT EVIDENCE
Abstract
Background: Childhood obesity has emerged as a major global health concern. Increasing prevalence among children and adolescents is closely associated with behavioral and environmental factors such as poor diet, inadequate sleep, and reduced physical activity.
Objective: To review existing scientific evidence regarding lifestyle determinants and health consequences associated with childhood obesity.
Methods: A systematic review of selected peer-reviewed studies was conducted. Articles examining childhood obesity prevalence, behavioral determinants, metabolic mechanisms, and long-term health outcomes were analyzed.
Results: Evidence indicates that short sleep duration, sedentary lifestyle, high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages, and low levels of physical activity significantly contribute to increased obesity risk among children.
