Abstract
Obesity remains a significant public health issue that leads to serious acute and chronic diseases. The prevalence of childhood obesity is on the rise, especially when taking into consideration the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Pediatricians and primary care providers can help support children at risk for many obesity-related comorbidities by using a family based approach for intervention. In this review, we will provide a brief overview of childhood obesity with COVID-19 pandemic ramifications and guidance for pediatricians to provide needed support and initial treatment.
