[0002] With the increasing severity of obesity problems among adolescents, obesity risk monitoring and prevention have become an important issue in the field of health management. In the prior art, the commonly used obesity assessment method mainly relies on body mass index (BMI) as a single indicator, which measures body weight by a body scale and calculates BMI in combination with height, compares it with a fixed threshold to determine obesity risk. In addition, some intelligent devices (such as wearable wristbands) can collect physiological data such as heart rate and step count, and some health management applications allow users to record dietary and exercise behavior, and provide health advice in combination with cloud analysis. However, these technologies have several shortcomings. First, the traditional BMI assessment uses a static threshold, which does not fully consider the dynamic characteristics of adolescent growth and development, for example, rapid height growth during puberty can cause temporary high BMI but not obesity, which can easily lead to misjudgment. Second, existing systems are mainly based on a single data source, lacking deep integration and causal analysis of physiological data and behavioral data, and unable to accurately identify the driving factors of obesity, such as dietary habits or lack of sleep. Third, most monitoring devices rely on cloud computing, and there is a delay in data transmission and processing, making it difficult to achieve real-time warning and affecting the timeliness of intervention. In addition, existing technologies usually only target individual users, lacking a multi-party collaborative intervention mechanism such as family and school, resulting in limited health management effectiveness.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0036] Figure 1 This is a system block diagram of a teenager obesity risk early warning system proposed by the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] The following is a combination of the embodiments of the present invention Figure 1 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a teenager obesity risk warning system, and its implementation is described in detail below so that those skilled in the art can understand and implement the present invention.
[0039] 1. Implementation of an electronic scale: This electronic scale is equipped with four high-precision strain gauge sensors and integrates Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi. The scale is used for regular weighing and weight data collection. After the user steps on the scale, the sensor samples the weight every 0.5 seconds, and the average of 10 times is used as the weight data W(t) (for example, 70.02 kg). Users can set a regular weigh-in schedule through the accompanying mobile app, for example, at 8:00 AM ± 15 minutes daily. If the user fails to weigh in on time, the LED displays "Please weigh" and a reminder tone plays.
[0040] Weight data is transmitted to the mobile phone via Bluetooth, and the transmission time is about 1 second. If it is not connected, the data is temporarily stored in 1KBEEPROM (can store 7 days of data, format: {date: "2025-03-26", time: "08:01", W(t): 70.02}).
[0041] 2. Implementation of data acquisition module: The data acquisition module collects physiological data P through electronic scales and wearable devicesd and behavior data B d , the electronic scale measures the weight W(t) = 70.02 kg, and the BMI(t) = 70.02 / 1.65 is calculated according to the height H(t) = 1.65 m input by the user in the App (updated once a month) 2 = 25.72 kg / m 2 .
[0042] The wearable device is a smart bracelet with an optical heart rate sensor, a three-axis accelerometer, and an infrared sleep monitoring module. The battery capacity is 135 mAh, and data is transmitted through Bluetooth 5.0. The bracelet records heart rate, sleep duration (6.2 hours / night), and steps (5000 steps / day) every 5 minutes, and synchronizes to the App at 23:00 every day. The data format is {timestamp: "2025-03-26 08:00:00", heart rate: 75, steps: 5000, sleep: 6.2}.
[0043] Behavior data B d includes dietary calorie intake (2500 kcal, e.g. breakfast 500 kcal + lunch 1000 kcal + dinner 800 kcal + snacks 200 kcal), exercise frequency (1 time / week, 30 minutes of running), and screen usage time (2.5 hours / day), which are manually input by the user through the App. The App provides a food calorie database (1000 foods, such as "whole wheat bread 250 kcal per 100g") and a photo recognition function (scan the barcode to automatically fill in the calories).
[0044] All data is stored in time series form on the Ali ECS server, and the cloud cleanses abnormal values (e.g. W(t) suddenly changes to 80 kg, which is excluded by ±5 kg) and normalizes (steps 0-20000 are mapped to 0-1, 5000 steps = 0.25).
[0045] 3. Implementation of dynamic growth and development correction module: growth curve and time series prediction technology adjust obesity risk threshold T adj According to the WHO adolescent growth and development standard, the standard BMI for a 14-year-old male is T base = 21.5 kg / m 2 , and the standard height H(t) = 1.68 m. The current height H(t) = 1.65 m, and last month H(t-1) = 1.64 m, the normalized high growth rate ΔG(t) = (1.65-1.64) / (1.68-1.67) = 1.0 (dimensionless) is calculated.
[0046] A long short-term memory network was used to predict the BMI trend P(t) over the next 6-12 months. The input was the W(t) sequence (69.8, 69.9, 70.02 kg) from the past 30 days, normalized to (-1.1). The model parameters were 1 neuron in the input layer, 32 neurons in the hidden layer (tanh activation), and 1 neuron in the output layer (linear activation). The learning rate was 0.001, and the training was repeated for 50 epochs. The loss function was the mean squared error (MSE). The training data was 30-day weight records of 1,000 adolescents aged 14-16 (approximately 1 GB). The model ran on a cloud-based NVIDIA GTX 1660 GPU (6 GB of video memory, TensorFlow 2.10). The predicted result P(t) was 1.3 kg / m 2 .
[0047] The calculation formula is T adj =T base +α·ΔG(t)+β·P(t), parameter α=2kg / m 2 (reflecting the impact of growth rate), β = 0.8 (dimensionless, adjusting the prediction weight) was optimized through 100-person testing and T was calculated. adj =21.5+2·1.0+0.81·3=24.54kg / m 2 .

[0050] A Bayesian causal network was used, with nodes defined as "calorie intake," "sleep duration," and "ΔW(t)." Edges were defined as "calories→ΔW(t)" and "sleep→ΔW(t)." The training data consisted of 7-day records of 1,000 adolescents (approximately 5MB). The conditional probability table was calculated in the cloud using maximum likelihood estimation. The results were P(ΔW(t)>0.1|calories>2000)=0.78 (78% probability of weight gain) and P(ΔW(t)>0.1|sleep<7)=0.65 (65% probability of weight gain).
[0051] Combined with the group contrast learning optimization model, calculate the individual and group differences: D group= 0.12 - 0.05 = 0.07 kg / day (population mean 0.05), regularization parameter λ = 0.01 (1 / kg), loss value after optimization reduced to 0.15.
