The long-term effects of childhood obesity on health can be detrimental, leading to various physical and psychological issues. Physically, it increases the risk of developing chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and joint problems. Psychologically, children may face challenges like low self-esteem, depression, and social stigmatization. Furthermore, childhood obesity often carries into adulthood, creating a cycle of poor health and increased healthcare costs. Interventions during childhood are crucial for preventing these long-term consequences and promoting a healthier trajectory into adulthood.
