Trend analysis, gender-specific patterns, and age dynamics of childhood and adolescent obesity: insights from the Tehran lipid and glucose study
Our study shows a worrisome increase in childhood obesity among Tehranian children and adolescents over 21 years. Sex- and age-specific trends emphasize the necessity for targeted interventions, informing policymakers, healthcare practitioners, and educators regarding public health strategies and interventions against the obesity epidemic.
