It further explores the susceptibility of these children to frequent infections due to immune system dysfunction, exacerbated by dietary imbalances and physical inactivity. The research emphasizes the indispensable role of early detection and intervention in mitigating health risks and outlines the significance of specialized supplements, medications, and rigorous oral hygiene practices in maintaining the overall well-being of these children.
