    Childhood obesity is a serious health threat where a child has excess body fat relative to their age, height, and sex. It negatively impacts both physical and mental health, as overweight or obese children are more likely to become depressed with poor self-esteem. Factors causing childhood obesity include unhealthy dietary habits, excess junk food and soft drinks, lack of physical activity, family eating patterns, genetics, lack of sleep, and stress. Communities can help prevent childhood obesity by promoting healthy lifestyles with nutritious diets, active living, and involvement from families, schools, healthcare professionals, and policymakers.
