“…Children and adolescents with excess body fat are more likely to develop structural anatomic changes (postural deviations), increased heart workload (hypertrophy and cardiac arrhythmia), changes in pulmonary functions (airway obstruction and apnoea), endocrine disorders (insulin resistance, increased cortisol, and reduced growth hormone), and immunologic disorders (increased production of cytokines) (3). In addition, they present psychosocial difficulties, including reduced quality of life, anxiety, depression, and increased risk for the development of eating disorders (4).…”

We analyzed the discriminatory capacity of anthropometric indicators for body fat in children and adolescents. This systematic review and meta-analysis included cross-sectional and clinical studies comprising children and adolescents aged 2-19 y that tested the discriminatory value for body fat measured by anthropometric methods or indexes generated by anthropometric variables compared with precision methods in the diagnosis of body fat [dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), computed tomography, air displacement plethysmography (ADP), or MRI]. Five studies met the eligibility criteria and presented high methodologic quality. The anthropometric indicators that had high discriminatory power to identify high body fat were body mass index (BMI) in males [area under the curve (AUC): 0.975] and females (AUC: 0.947), waist circumference (WC) in males (AUC: 0.975) and females (AUC: 0.959), and the waist-to-height ratio (WTHR) in males (AUC: 0.897) and females (AUC: 0.914). BMI, WC, and WTHR can be used by health professionals to assess body fat in children and adolescents.

“…Severe obesity (BMI > 97th percentile) in children has quadrupled to 11.9% of children aged 1 to 18 and is the largest growing subcategory of obesity in children (Ogden, Carroll, Curtin, Lamb, & Flegal, 2010). Overweight and obesity have many negative consequences for children and adolescents, including medical effects, such as increased risk of cardiovascular disease and other chronic health conditions (August et al, 2008;Dietz, 1998) as well as psychosocial difficulties, including reduced quality of life, anxiety, depression, and increased risk for the development of eating disorders (BeLue, Francis, & Colaco, 2009;Dietz, 1998;Wilson & Goldfield, 2014). These negative effects not only exist in childhood but, without appropriate intervention, persist into adulthood with elevated morbidity and mortality (Reilly et al, 2003).…”

Childhood obesity is associated with increased medical and psychosocial consequences and mortality and effective interventions are urgently needed. Effective interventions are urgently needed. This article reviews the evidence for psychological treatments of overweight and obesity in child and adolescent populations. Studies were identified through searches of online databases and reference sections of relevant review articles and metaanalyses. Treatment efficacy was assessed using established criteria, and treatments were categorized as well-established, probably efficacious, possibly efficacious, experimental, or of questionable efficacy. Well-established treatments included family-based behavioral treatment (FBT) and Parent-Only Behavioral Treatment for children. Possibly efficacious treatments include Parent-Only Behavioral Treatment for adolescents, FBT-Guided SelfHelp for children, and Behavioral Weight Loss treatment with family involvement for toddlers, children, and adolescents. Appetite awareness training and regulation of cues treatments are considered experimental. No treatments are considered probably efficacious, or of questionable efficacy. All treatments considered efficacious are multicomponent interventions that include dietary and physical activity modifications and utilize behavioral strategies. Treatment is optimized if family members are specifically targeted in treatment. Research supports the use of multicomponent lifestyle interventions, with FBT and Parent-Only Behavioral Treatment being the most widely supported treatment types. Additional research is needed to test a stepped care model for treatment and to establish the ideal dosage (i.e., number and length of sessions), duration, and intensity of treatments for long-term sustainability of healthy weight management. To improve access to care, the optimal methods to enhance the scalability and implementability of treatments into community and clinical settings need to be established.

“…In a recent study it was shown that overweight or obese young people are not at increased risk of depression, but young people with depression are at increased risk of obesity. 10 These findings suggest that the treatment of depression in obese patients might help weight loss and might also contribute to prevention of subsequent weight gain. Pharmacological treatment is a common approach for treatment of depression, but antidepressants may lead to weight gain, which is a serious concern for patients.…”
