The article provides a statistical analysis of the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents aged 5 to 19 globally and in Central Asian countries (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan) during 1990–2022. Based on WHO and regional health system reports, it deeply analyzes the rise in global and regional obesity indicators, demographic and economic conditions, urbanization processes, changes in eating culture, and their influencing factors. Regional differences and epidemiological characteristics are discussed, focusing on the impact of overweight on children's health, physiological and psychological development, and long-term socio-economic outcomes. The importance of prevention and monitoring strategies, promoting a healthy lifestyle for the younger generation, and innovative approaches in local and global health policies are proposed.
