Obesity among children and adolescents has become a serious global health problem, with rates in Southeast Asia increasing to 31%. This study explores current scientific evidence to inform the formulation of more effective adolescent obesity prevention and intervention strategies in the region. A review of 8 relevant articles, sourced from Google Scholar and Pubmed between 2020-2024, revealed that increasing prevalence of adolescent obesity is linked to factors including lack of physical activity due to gadget use, parental roles, poor diet, and socioeconomic environments limiting access to health. It was concluded that these factors contribute to adolescent obesity, and integrated efforts are needed through nutrition and physical activity education, empowering parents, and providing facilities that encourage active lifestyles.

The review concludes that unhealthy lifestyle habits are strongly associated with the rising rates of adolescent obesity in Southeast Asia.Key contributing factors include limited physical activity due to gadget use, the influence of parental roles, inadequate dietary habits, and socioeconomic barriers to healthcare access.Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive approach encompassing nutrition education, promotion of physical activity, parental empowerment, and supportive environmental changes to foster healthier lifestyles among adolescents.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk memahami secara mendalam bagaimana pengaruh budaya dan norma sosial terhadap pola makan dan aktivitas fisik remaja di berbagai wilayah di Asia Tenggara. Studi kualitatif yang melibatkan wawancara mendalam dengan remaja, orang tua, dan pemangku kepentingan komunitas dapat memberikan wawasan berharga tentang faktor-faktor kontekstual yang memengaruhi pilihan gaya hidup sehat. Selain itu, penelitian intervensi yang dirancang secara khusus untuk mengatasi hambatan sosioekonomi terhadap akses makanan sehat dan fasilitas olahraga sangat penting. Penelitian ini harus menguji efektivitas berbagai strategi, seperti program subsidi makanan, peningkatan akses ke fasilitas olahraga komunitas, dan kampanye edukasi kesehatan yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan lokal. Terakhir, pengembangan dan evaluasi aplikasi kesehatan seluler (mHealth) yang interaktif dan menarik, yang dirancang untuk mempromosikan perilaku sehat dan memberikan dukungan personalisasi kepada remaja, perlu dipertimbangkan sebagai pendekatan inovatif untuk mengatasi masalah obesitas remaja di kawasan ini. Penelitian ini harus mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor seperti literasi digital, aksesibilitas, dan preferensi pengguna untuk memastikan keberhasilan implementasi dan dampak yang berkelanjutan.
