Systematic review of parental influence on pediatric obesity: Exploring dietary habits, physical activity, and intervention strategies
Parental involvement is pivotal in pediatric obesity management. Family-centered behavioral interventions, particularly those incorporating booster supports, effectively reduce childhood obesity risk. Limitations of current evidence include methodological heterogeneity and limited long-term data. Future research should focus on paternal roles, diverse populations, and standardized outcome reporting. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO [CRD42025640314].
