Pediatric Endocrinology
Childhood Obesity & Metabolic Health
Childhood obesity should be addressed respectfully. Evaluation looks beyond calories and includes growth pattern, puberty, sleep, family history, insulin resistance, diabetes/metabolic risk and rare medical causes when suggested by history.
Parent-Friendly Overview
Care focuses on sustainable lifestyle, metabolic screening where indicated and treatment of related conditions without stigma.
This page is for awareness only and does not replace consultation. Exact evaluation depends on age, growth chart, examination and reports.
When to seek advice
- Rapid weight gain or severe obesity
- Dark patches on neck/armpits suggesting insulin resistance
- Irregular periods/acne suggesting PCOS concerns
- Family history of diabetes or metabolic syndrome
