Obesity treatment among adolescents
JAMA Mar 27, 2020
Cardel MI, et al. - As we know that in adolescence, obesity has reached epidemic proportions around the world, with the prevalence of severe obesity increasing at least 4-fold over the last 35 years. 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,. Effective and less invasive therapies, effective adjuncts, and comprehensive centers that offer specialized treatment are critical. For treatment of obesity in youths, this considerable need for raised attention to obesity care calls for dedicated resources in both education and research.
