Childhood obesity, particularly alimentary obesity, has become a major global public health challenge. This study aims to analyze the prevalence, causes, consequences, and preventive strategies of obesity among school-aged children. A comprehensive literature review of global data from WHO, UNICEF, and peer-reviewed sources was conducted. Findings indicate that approximately 1 in 10 school-aged children worldwide is affected by obesity, with prevalence increasing rapidly over recent decades. The primary causes include excessive caloric intake, sedentary lifestyle, and environmental influences. Consequences range from metabolic disorders to psychosocial problems. Effective prevention requires multi-level interventions involving families, schools, and policy frameworks. Early prevention is crucial to reduce long-term health risks.
