Abstract in brief

This study investigates factors linked to normal-weight obesity (NWO) in adolescents, focusing on sociodemographic, family health history, body perception, lifestyle, and food consumption, revealing that older age, female sex, family history of dyslipidemia, body dissatisfaction, low physical activity, and higher sweetener use are associated with higher NWO risk.
Findings show that male adolescents, those satisfied with their bodies, and physically active teens have a lower likelihood of NWO, highlighting the importance of lifestyle and perception in managing this condition.
The study emphasizes the need for further research on NWO in young populations, as it presents a hidden risk group with higher cardiometabolic disease potential despite having a normal BMI.]
