Obesity care in pediatric populations has entered a new era. The recent discovery of molecular genetic causes for abnormal weight gain, development of antiobesity medications, mounting data on the robust efficacy and favorable safety profile of bariatric surgery, and implementation of clinical guidelines fill a long-standing gap in the care of children affected by obesity, one of the most challenging pediatric diseases. However, these novel clinical approaches do not appear to have reached every individual who is in need, particularly children with chronic health conditions (CHCs), raising important questions for equitable medical care. In this study, we discuss specific etiologies, challenges, and ideas for future directions in diagnosing and managing obesity in children with CHCs. Although this article is not intended to be utilized as clinical guidelines, it underscores potential practical solutions for the current issues.
