ABSTRACT:
The prevalence of childhood obesity has skyrocketed to alarming levels in the twenty-first century, prompting a significant amount of research aimed at identifying and understanding the familial factors that contribute to this pressing public health crisis. The literature on the relationship between childhood obesity and family dynamics, parental actions, socioeconomic level, and genetic predispositions has been compiled in this study. The research first looks into the role of parents, highlighting the clear correlation between parents' unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lives and their children's increased risk of obesity. This review also emphasises the value of family-based techniques and prompt interventions in the management and prevention of childhood obesity. To create comprehensive and successful interventions aimed at lowering the prevalence of childhood obesity, a complete understanding of these features is necessary. Subsequent investigations ought to concentrate on elucidating the complex pathways implicated and refining strategies for family-centered preventive and therapy initiatives. The findings highlight the need of tackling childhood obesity with a comprehensive strategy that considers the family environment as a key component.
