Childhood obesity is the condition in which children and adolescents develop excess body fat, greatly raising their chance of developing health issues. It is a severe and complicated medical illness that has recently gained international attention for reasons related to public health. The body mass index (BMI), which takes into consideration a child's height and weight, is commonly used to measure childhood obesity. According to established growth charts, a child is considered obese if their BMI is at or above the 95th percentile for their age and sex. There are a variety of genetic, behavioural, and environmental factors that affect childhood obesity. The causes of childhood obesity are many. Excessive weight gain is a result of unhealthy eating habits such as consuming high-calorie, low-nutrient foods like fast food, sugary snacks, and sugary drinks. Children spend more time engaging in passive activities like watching television, playing video games, or using electronics than in active play or sports, and sedentary lives with little physical activity also play a key influence in this.
