The text defines childhood and adolescent obesity using body mass index (BMI) percentiles and identifies a growing global epidemic that begins in early youth. The authors explain how fat tissue acts as an endocrine organ, releasing hormones like leptin and insulin that can trigger early puberty and menstrual irregularities. Beyond physical development, the source explores how obesity complicates contraceptive efficacy, increases the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and poses significant challenges for gynecological surgery. The work also addresses the psychosocial consequences of adiposity, such as depression and low self-esteem, while advocating for multidisciplinary management strategies. Ultimately, the editors emphasize the need for clinically responsible care to mitigate long-term risks like infertility, cardiovascular disease, and cancers.
