JAMA Mar 27, 2020

This review discussed treatment practices including an overview of evidence supporting currently available behavioral, pharmacologic, surgical, and device interventions for obesity. Effectively addressing this disease will need significant resources, scientific rigor, and the provision of access to quality care similar to other chronic health conditions because adolescent obesity needs lifelong treatment,.

For treatment of obesity in youths, this considerable need for raised attention to obesity care calls for dedicated resources in both education and research.
