Description:
Childhood overweight and obesity are global health concerns, affecting millions of children and contributing to long-term musculoskeletal complications. This review examines the impact of excess body weight on bone health, posture, motor performance, and injury risk. Overweight and obesity increase mechanical stress on bones and joints, leading to pain, postural abnormalities, and higher fracture susceptibility. Despite increased bone mineral density (BMD), the obesity paradox highlights a paradoxical rise in fracture risk. Hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammation, vitamin D deficiencies, and reduced physical activity further exacerbate musculoskeletal challenges. Additionally, obesity-related postural changes and decreased motor function contribute to inactivity and worsening health. This literature review was conducted using PubMed searches, selecting articles published in the last five years to ensure up-to-date findings. Keywords such as "obesity in children," "musculoskeletal system," "bone health," "posture," and "physical activity" were used. Original studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews were analyzed. Preventive measures, including dietary interventions, regular exercise, and early therapeutic strategies, are essential to mitigating the long-term effects of childhood obesity. Future research should focus on targeted interventions to improve musculoskeletal health and overall well-being in affected children.
