To evaluate the burden of obesity among youth, consider these three points:

Prevalence data.: Collect and analyze data on obesity rates among youth from health surveys and studies, focusing on age, gender, and socioeconomic factors to identify at-risk populations.

Health impacts: Assess the physical and psychological health consequences of obesity in youth, including comorbidities like diabetes, heart disease, and mental health issues.

Intervention effectiveness: Evaluate the effectiveness of existing interventions and programs aimed at reducing obesity rates, measuring outcomes such as changes in BMI and lifestyle behaviors.
