Abstract

There are over 1.9 billion with overweight and over 650 million obese people Worldwide (according to the latest WHO data). And every eighth school-age boy and every twentieth girl were reported obese in Russia (according to the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being 2021 data). The steady increase in obesity leads to the numerous consequences affecting children and their parents, including mental, physical and social health problems, which in its turn also affect the economic component of healthcare system and therefore require searching for the new preventive and therapeutic measurements. A number of studies have shown that multiple brain regions are recruited during food cueing tasks. Modern neuroimaging methods can significantly change the existing paradigms for the prevention and treatment of obesity. This bibliographical review is devoted to one of the modern neuroimaging methods, functional magnetic resonance imaging [PubMed 2008 to 2022] in children with overweight and obesity.
