Abstract

Conclusion: Key SDOHs of childhood obesity include socioeconomic status, neighborhood characteristics, food environment, healthcare access, immigration, and culture. Despite diverse regional studies, there is a notable gap in US-specific data on SDOH of childhood obesity, especially by race and ethnicity. Further research is needed to better understand these determinants and their impact on pediatric metabolic health.
