Abstract: Background  The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents is increasing at an alarming rate around the world and prevention has become a key public health objective. Treatment and management of those already overweight and obese must be aligned with the best available evidence on effectiveness, if the risk of obesity-related morbidity and mortality is yet be reduced. Diet plays a pivotal role in successful treatment of obesity but to date, there is limited evidence on which to base pract… Show more

“…3,4 Several systematic reviews of the treatment of childhood obesity have found positive effects of interventions that include a dietary or exercise component. [5][6][7][8] However, these reviews did not assess the effect of diet or exercise separatelydietary interventions were evaluated as adjuncts to exercise interventions, or vice versa. It is therefore unclear whether diet plus exercise or exercise only is more effective than a diet-only intervention for improving weight status in overweight and obese children and adolescents.…”

“…Despite recommendations suggesting a focus on lifestyle, most interventions are evaluated using only measures of weight change. Few details about the implementation and evaluation of dietary interventions have been documented [ 5 ], making it difficult to understand how weight change may be achieved. Thus, a need for timely and detailed evaluation of adolescent obesity programs has been identified [ 4 , 6 , 7 ].…”
