Abstract
This case study presents a 12-year-old male child, suffering from morbid obesity (169 kg, BMI 59.88) due to hyperphagia and sedentary lifestyle. Born premature and admitted to NICU for 8 months, Abdulla developed hyperphagia post first year of life. Despite efforts by parents and patient to address the weight issue, the grandmother's belief that weight loss will be fatal hinders progress. Abdulla presents with comorbidities like vitamin D deficiency, insulin-resistant diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, asthma, and fatty liver. This case underscores the critical influence of family dynamics on childhood obesity management.
