WHO advises lifestyle changes to fight childhood obesity
The World Health Organization has recommended changing lifestyle habits to combat childhood obesity, emphasizing the importance of following a healthy diet, engaging in physical activity, and supporting positive behaviors, rather than relying on medications or surgeries, which raise concerns about their safety and long-term effectiveness. It stated that medication and surgical treatments are only advised for children aged 10 to 19 after non-drug interventions have failed and no results have been achieved within six months of treatment. Data shows that approximately 400 million children aged fifteen, including 170 million who are obese, and that obesity rates have quadrupled since 1990.
