Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, people's material standards have greatly improved, which has also led to the increasingly serious obesity problem among children and adolescents; obesity has also led to a significant increase in the incidence of some chronic diseases. Research shows that obese children are more likely to suffer from fatty liver, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and other diseases. Child obesity can also lead to abnormal fat metabolism and abnormal glucose metabolism, which are early manifestations of childhood diabetes.
In addition, obesity will also have a great impact on the psychology of adolescents. Not only this, but the risk factors for obesity in children will also continue into adulthood. Therefore, we hope to exchange and discuss the latest treatment and prevention methods for obesity and overweight in children as well as adolescents to ensure the healthy growth of children.
We invite contributors to send original research articles, systematic evaluations, analyses, and case-based comments. I look forward to receiving your contribution.
