Pediatric obesity isn’t just a passing concern it’s become a significant public health issue with serious consequences for metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, and overall well-being. The most effective interventions. They don’t rely on quick fixes. Instead, they focus on lifestyle changes: nutritious eating, regular physical activity, and targeted behavioral adjustments.This session will explore evidence-based approaches to tackling pediatric obesity. We’ll look at strategies that put families at the center of the process (since parents shape so much of a child’s environment), as well as programs based in schools and the wider community. Expect to gain practical insights into how to design and implement interventions that foster lasting healthy habits, improve metabolic outcomes, and support long-term wellness for children and adolescents. The aim is to move beyond theory and equip attendees with actionable knowledge for real-world impact.
