Obesity in children and adolescents: epidemiology, causes, assessment, and management

Hiba Jebeile et al.

Summary: This review provides an overview of the current knowledge on child and adolescent obesity, including its epidemiology, causes, assessment considerations, and management approaches. Prevalence of obesity had plateaued in high-income countries but increased in low-income and middle-income countries before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, weight gain among children and adolescents has increased during the pandemic. Obesity is associated with various health issues and premature mortality. The development and persistence of obesity can be explained by a bio-socioecological framework. The first-line treatment approaches involve family-based behavioral interventions addressing diet, physical activity, sedentary behaviors, and sleep quality. Additional therapies such as intensive dietary approaches, pharmacotherapy, and metabolic and bariatric surgery are emerging, but access to them is limited. Personalized treatment approaches and their translation to clinical practice still require further research.

Prohormone convertase 1/3 deficiency causes obesity due to impaired proinsulin processing

Daniel T. Meier et al.

Summary: Defective insulin processing due to deficiency of insulin prohormone convertase 1/3 (PC1/3) leads to hyperglycemia and hyperphagic obesity. Impaired insulin maturation, rather than impaired pro-islet amyloid polypeptide processing, is the cause of obesity. Insulin therapy can prevent hyperphagia. Furthermore, decreased PC1/3 expression levels in pancreatic islets are negatively correlated with body mass index in humans.

Hui Huang et al.

Summary: Despite conflicting results from in vitro studies, the administration of metformin does not have a negative impact on beta-cell function or mass, and early treatment with metformin may actually protect beta-cells from exhaustion and decompensation.
