The impact of lockdown on Aragonese children: a geographical analysis of childhood obesity pre- and post-lockdown

Socioeconomic inequalities, especially related to parental education and income, strongly influence obesity distribution at the local level. Geographically targeted policies are needed to reduce disparities and prevent long-term health consequences in children.
