What are the Determinants of childhood Obesity? A Literature Review as part of the Project 'Nationwide Monitoring of obesity-relevant Influencing Factors in Childhood'

摘要

Obesity can impair health even in childhood and unfold negative health consequences through an individual's lifespan. In Germany, to date, a systematic and periodically updated synopsis of the multifaceted determinants of childhood obesity is lacking. In this paper, we present the results of a systematic literature review on childhood obesity determinants, which was conducted over the course of the implementation of nationwide monitoring.
