Abstract

Childhood obesity has become one of the greatest challenges facing modern healthcare systems. Obesity is a chronic disease that can cause significant health problems in children and adolescents. This condition has profound effects not only on physical health but also on psychosocial development. Management of obesity in children includes a wide range of treatment options, from dietary and lifestyle changes to surgical interventions. This review will focus on the causes, consequences, treatment methods and, in particular, the role of bariatric surgery.

Özet

Çocuk obezitesi, modern sağlık sistemlerinin karşılaştığı en büyük zorluklardan biri haline gelmiştir. Obezite, çocuklarda ve ergenlerde önemli sağlık sorunlarına yol açabilen, kronik bir hastalıktır. Bu durum, sadece fiziksel sağlık üzerinde değil, aynı zamanda psikososyal gelişim üzerinde de derin etkiler yaratmaktadır. Çocuklarda obezite yönetimi, diyet ve yaşam tarzı değişikliklerinden cerrahi müdahalelere kadar geniş bir yelpazede tedavi seçeneklerini içerir. Bu derleme, çocuk obezitesinin nedenleri, sonuçları, tedavi yöntemleri ve özellikle obezite cerrahisinin rolü üzerinde duracaktır.
