Core Tip

Core Tip: A total of 1573 articles were published on overweight/obese comorbid with depression among children and adolescents from 2004 to 2023. Through analysis of keywords and references, inequality, adverse childhood experiences, and comorbidities have become hot topics. Moreover, the impact of balanced-related behavior and exploration of biological mechanisms, including the potential role of key adipocytokines and lipokines, as well as inflammation, have emerged as frontier topics. This research can help offer a comprehensive understanding of current and future research hotspots and provide a deeper scientific basis for future prevention and treatment strategies for overweight/obese comorbid with depression in young people.
