- Paediatrics & Childhood Obesity Journal
The Paediatrics & Childhood Obesity Journal (PCOJ) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal dedicated to advancing research, clinical practice, and policy related to pediatric health and the global challenge of childhood obesity. With an emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration, the journal seeks to bridge the gap between clinical care, public health, behavioral science, and nutritional research.
PCOJ publishes high-quality original research, reviews, case studies, and intervention reports that address the prevention, diagnosis, and management of obesity in infants, children, and adolescents. The journal also highlights socio-environmental determinants of obesity, health disparities, and the role of education and policy in shaping healthier futures for children worldwide.
The journal provides a vital platform for healthcare professionals, nutritionists, psychologists, educators, and public health experts to explore emerging trends, innovative treatment models, and long-term strategies that support optimal growth and development in the paediatric population.
