Résumé
Background/objectives
Childhood obesity is a chronic, multifactorial disease requiring attention to biological, behavioral, psychological, family, and socioeconomic factors. This narrative review examined the integration of lifestyle, family-based, psychological, and pharmacological approaches, focusing on treatment engagement, eating disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and treatment durability.
Methods
A single search interface covering PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science (the University of Turin library discovery platform) was used to identify studies published primarily from 2010 to August 2026. Pediatric trials, observational studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, guidelines, and public-health reports were prioritized.
