Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Pediatric Obesity focuses on the multifaceted aspects of obesity in children and adolescents. Research includes the effectiveness of various treatment modalities such as medication (GLP-1RAs), lifestyle interventions, and exercise programs. The journal also investigates the genetic and metabolic underpinnings of obesity, including monogenic forms and the impact of specific fat depots. Furthermore, it explores the relationship between obesity and related health conditions like metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, insulin resistance, and cardiometabolic risk. The scope extends to the influence of maternal factors, socioeconomic status, and the quality of life in children with obesity, as well as the development of predictive models and assessment tools for dietary intake.
