Article Synopsis
- This review highlights the link between social factors, especially food insecurity, and childhood obesity, indicating that children facing food insecurity are at a higher risk of becoming obese.
- Some pilot interventions that connect families with fresh produce or groceries show promise, but comprehensive studies to understand the effectiveness of these social care approaches are still necessary.
- To effectively tackle childhood obesity, future research should focus on integrating social care solutions that address the broader social needs of families.
