Abstract

This compilation synthesizes research on adolescent obesity, revealing its multifaceted nature and effective interventions. It highlights successful approaches like mobile health tools, school-based programs, and parental involvement for weight management. Medical options, including bariatric surgery and anti-obesity medications, are also effective for severe cases. Contributing factors such as psychological distress, poor sleep, sedentary behavior, and gut microbiome dysbiosis are identified. Social media’s dual impact on health behaviors is noted. The findings collectively emphasize the necessity for comprehensive, integrated strategies to address adolescent obesity and improve long-term health outcomes.
