In the Pacific region, populations have gained faster access to modern lifestyles in the past few decades, causing fundamental changes in the way people move about and eat (including food choices, physical activity, and sedentary time) and a dramatic increase in noncommunicable diseases. This is mainly the case in young generations since they are particularly exposed to an environment that can drive to overweight and obesity. This scoping review aims to summarize the prevalence and known causes of overweight and obesity for children aged six to 12 years old living in the Pacific region and identified possible related factors. This work highlighted that causes of overweight and obesity are mainly attributed to individual characteristics of children and behavioural patterns, children's socio-economic environment, parenting practices and educational level.
