“…All the eligible seven trials stemmed from only two large RCTs extensively published in the last 5 years: ''The Loozit Ò study'' (n = 5 publications) [25][26][27][28][29] and ''The SMSMT (SMS Management Technics) study'' (n = 2 publications). 30,31 To avoid duplication of data, we included only one RCT from each of the two large trials; the publication selected from these large trials was the one that most closely described the effectiveness of smartphone technology for promoting health-related outcomes.…”

“…These two studies 29,31 collectively included 190 overweight or obese children and adolescents, between 7 to 16 years of age. In the trial from The Netherlands, 31 the mean age at baseline was 9.9 years, and the body mass index (BMI) [mean (standard deviation [SD])] was 2.60 (0.4). In the Australian trial, 29 the participants were slightly older (14.6 years) with a BMI z-score of 2.03 (0.37).…”

Smartphone technologies allow users to accomplish tasks anywhere and anytime and, as such, provide researchers with additional and generationally appropriate capacities to deliver health promotion. E-contact should be used for its significant capacity to prolong engagement and decrease withdrawal during sustainability phases that follow intensive intervention for weight management in young populations. Despite increasing popularity in published protocols of weight management trials, the effectiveness of the impact of smartphone technology in pediatric programs remains equivocal.

“…Another intervention utilized a short message service via mobile phones to provide overweight and obese children with personalized feedback and prompts to encourage healthy behaviors [67]. This study did not result in BMI reduction; however, the intervention group had a lower dropout rate and children with the greatest weight loss engaged more actively with the message service [68]. Finally, as part of the protocol of a randomized controlled trial in 3-to 10-year-old children, one paper showcased a technology under development to integrate treatment across settings [69].…”

Current Trends in Childhood Obesity Research

Childhood obesity is a global health issue. To identify research trends and gaps of childhood obesity research, we reviewed MEDLINE publications from January 2011 to May 2012 and qualitatively analyzed the major domains and themes of research focus. Major domains are: measurements, obesity correlates, prevention interventions, treatment interventions, and policy issues. Key advances and innovations are highlighted within each domain. Emerging areas include the advancement of measurement methodologies that simultaneously capture individual and contextual information across time, analysis of policy problems, and the development of multilevel, community interventions. However, few effective and sustainable interventions are exemplified; some strategies are promising. Recommendations for future research includes the adoption of a systems approach that integrates individual, environmental, and policy change, the scale up and diffusion of innovations, studies of intended and unintended policy impacts, and the design and testing of effective social marketing strategies.

“…In one of those studies, clinically reasonable dose of 12 g has been suggested 36) . However, it should be noted that those studies were merely a literary discussion or a clinical study Lifestyle programs can reduce the level of overweight in children [37][38][39][40][41][42] . However, the success of these lifestyle interventions is limited in that maintaining the results and adherence to treatment are difficult to achieve 43) .…”

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effect of Biman-tang (BMT) on two different administration periods in the treatment of childhood overweight and obesity. MethodsIn retrospective study, 39 overweight and obese (85 th percentile ≤ Body Mass Index (BMI)) children were treated with BMT from January 2006 to April 2013 at Korean Medical Clinic in Suwon, Korea. The primary outcomes were the changes in BMI and Obesity Index (OI) from baseline to the treatment groups. Secondary outcomes included the changes in height, weight and safety of the medicine. Comparisons of BMI, OI, height and weight between the short-period (SP) treatment group and the long-period (LP) treatment group were done by using ANCOVA. ResultsThe change of the mean of BMI (-0.5 ± 0.6 kg/m 2 vs -1.4 ± 0.8 kg/m 2 , respectively; p=0.003) and OI (-3.6 ± 3.9% vs -9.7 ± 4.7%, respectively; p<0.001) showed significant reduction both in SP (n=16) and LP treatment group (n=23). The mean height showed no significant difference in both groups. The mean weight of LP treatment group showed significant reduction compared to SP treatment group (-0.2 ± 1.3 kg vs -1.6 ± 1.6 kg, respectively; p=0.006). Most of the children were compliant to the medication and no serious adverse events were found in two groups. ConclusionsThese findings emphasize that BMT is effective in the treatment of childhood obesity and it requires at least 45 days of treatment for the best result.

Short message service reduces dropout in childhood obesity treatment: A randomized controlled trial.

Abstract: These results indicate that SMSMT is effective in reducing dropout rates from a pediatric lifestyle intervention. Future research should examine the effectiveness of SMSMT on weight management and related psychosocial variables.
