ABOUT THIS SESSION

Adolescent obesity, a complex health issue prevalent in modern societies, arises from a confluence of genetic predispositions, socioeconomic factors, and behavioral patterns. Beyond its immediate implications for physical health, such as increased risk of type 2 diabetes and hypertension, it also profoundly impacts psychological well-being and social integration. Join us in this session with Dr. Sanjay Kalra and Dr. Meenakshi Verma on July 1 at 7:00 p.m. to learn more about the topic and measures to tackle this challenge, including nutritional education, physical activity promotion, and community engagement to foster sustainable lifestyle changes and mitigate long-term health disparities among youth.
