Abstract

Adolescence is a critical period in human development characterized by rapid physical growth, cognitive development, and psychosocial changes. It is also a time when dietary habits are established and can have a profound impact on long-term health. Unfortunately, the prevalence of adolescent obesity has been steadily increasing, leading to a growing concern about its associated health risks. This article explores the intricate relationship between diet quality, psychosocial health, and cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents with obesity.
