for the most vulnerable populations

Thus far, the webinar series has explored the growing evidence for the worsening of COVID-19 symptoms amongst people with obesity and the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for patients with obesity and physicians. We have heard from experts in Latin America, South East Asia, Europe and the USA. The last webinar of the series will address the implications of COVID-19 for children, and the impacts of the pandemic on the treatment and prevention of childhood obesity, a crucial public health concern.

This webinar will address:

• The existing public health approaches to address childhood obesity
• The challenges and solutions for childhood obesity through a low middle-income country (LMIC) and equity lens
• The impact of COVID-19 on childhood and adolescent obesity treatment
