چکیده :

Background and Aim: In today's world, childhood obesity is recognized as one of the growing health crises that affects not only physical health but also the mental well-being of children. One of the significant factors contributing to this crisis is stress. Everyday stressors arising from academic pressures, social issues, and environmental changes can lead to changes in children's eating patterns and lifestyle. Recent studies indicate that stress can act as a trigger for unhealthy eating behaviors, ultimately leading to obesity. In fact, as chronically stressed children tend to consume more high-calorie and unhealthy foods and neglect physical activity. The aim of this study was to accomplish a thorough review of the relationship between stress and childhood obesity. Methods: A search for articles was conducted through databases such as Google Scholar and PubMed from the years 2020 to 2025 using the keywords "childhood obesity" and "stress." Out of 173 articles found, 17 were selected that were related to the relationship between stress and childhood obesity. Results: Findings indicate that body fat accumulation in children is significantly associated with stress and inflammation biomarkers. Moreover, disruption of the stress regulation system due to prolonged exposure to glucocorticoids can lead to weight gain. Additionally, children's emotional and social experiences directly impact their weight status and mental health. For example, experiences of social rejection, even temporarily, can trigger risky obesity behaviors and lead to increased consumption of high-calorie foods. The bidirectional relationship between body weight and the stress system, especially the role of cortisol in regulating appetite, highlights the importance of stress management. Conclusion: Utilizing adjunct treatments for childhood obesity can help reduce stress and improve eating behaviors. These methods can serve as effective tools for addressing the psychological and dietary challenges faced by children.
