Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Globally, the prevalence of pediatric obesity is high. Childhood obesity is influenced by several contextual factors, including family, community, social and other environmental factors.
Nutrition and other lifestyle choices collectively have an impact on children’s weight and health. Diet, including diet quality and dietary patterns, is important for child health. Research on the effects of interventions to prevent or treat childhood obesity on nutrition and other lifestyle behaviors, while taking the context of the interventions into account, can help inform implementation.
This Special Issue, entitled “The Effect of Diet on Pediatric Obesity,” welcomes reviews and articles on the effects of nutrition interventions on reducing child obesity, particularly those that investigate the interactions of dietary changes with other lifestyle behaviors or contextual factors.
