 Obesity in children has become a major public health concern due to its increasing prevalence around the globe. Recent studies show that the number of overweight and obese children has risen significantly since 1975, with the highest rates seen in low and middle-income countries. Obesity in children can lead to serious health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and certain types of cancer. Additionally, it can also cause psychological and psychosocial disorders, making it difficult for children to develop into healthy adults. To combat this issue, the World Health Organization, WHO, has set a goal of reducing the prevalence of obesity in children by 2025.
