SOLVED3315

Childhood obesity is a rising concern and research has identified many specific genes associated with this condition. Children with early onset obesity have a greater risk for other cardiac, metabolic and psychological comorbidities (Roberts et al., 2022). Any child who presents for a well check-up and is severely overweight should undergo genetic screening as part of the weight management plan. Roberts et al. (2022) informs that severe obesity is identified as having a “body mass index (BMI) greater than 120th percent of the 95th BMI percentile for age and gender” (Roberts et al., 2022). Incorporating genetic screening could help identify causes of obesity and may help target better treatment options.
