Childhood obesity is a significant national epidemic, with approximately 20% of children and teens in the U.S. classified as obese. This condition, if untreated, leads to severe comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and cardiovascular diseases, among others. Adolescents with severe obesity often carry these health issues into adulthood, doubling their risk of premature death before age 55 compared to their non-obese peers.
