“…Our findings also contradict another recent SR, whose authors indicated that multifaceted interventions, including family support and guided behavior modifications, seem effective for reducing BMI in adolescents with overweight and obesity. 52 However, the authors included all weight loss interventions and did not exclusively examine MI interventions. Similar to our SR, there was considerable variability in effectiveness between interventions.…”

“…Factors motivating to seek treatment for obesity described before included family support [23], quality of life [24] and willingness to improve appearance [25]. However, taking into account increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity [1,2], finding characteristics for people not prone to take steps towards weight reduction should be of high priority in public health.…”

Introduction The psychological profile of obese people deciding to start obesity treatment may be different from those not choosing to seek the therapy. Previous studies have shown a higher incidence of depression in obese than in normal weight people. However, data are lacking concerning the occurrence of depressive symptoms and their severity in obese subjects who do or do not decide to start treatment for obesity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and severity of depressive symptoms among obese people starting treatment and not seeking treatment for obesity. Materials and methods Enrolled subjects were 331 adults (241 women, 90 men), including 193 obese subjects starting treatment for obesity (46.8 ± 13.2 years, BMI 37.6 ± 5.5 kg/m 2) and 138 obese volunteers never seeking treatment for obesity (44.3 ± 12.5 years, BMI 34.7 ± 4.3 kg/m 2). Depression levels were determined using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results The level of depression was significantly higher among those starting treatment for obesity than those never seeking treatment for obesity (13.2 ± 9.2 vs. 9.5 ± 7.9 points; p < 0.001). This difference was statistically significant in women (14.4 ± 9.2 and 11.0 ± 8.2 points, respectively; p < 0.01), but not in men (7.2 ± 6.4 and 7.3 ± 7.1 points, respectively; p = 0.95). There were more women with moderate/severe depressive symptoms in the group starting treatment than in the group not seeking treatment for obesity (44.7 and 24.4%, respectively). No such difference was observed in men. Conclusions Obese subjects, especially women, with depressive symptoms are more likely to start treatment for obesity. Level of evidence Level III, case-control analytic study.

“…The control of behaviors and thoughts in these situations can be effectively achieved through self-monitoring, as has been widely demonstrated in the literature (Boff et al, 2016). However, it must be preceded by attention to the context, in order to monitor it and decide whether to change it.…”

“…Lifestyle modifi cation is a complex process, especially in adolescence, suggesting that this population may require a specifi c set of intervention strategies in addition to interdisciplinary care (Spear et al, 2007). Treatment programs should also have a multi-domain structure, focusing on issues such as nutritional education, physical education, psychological support and family involvement, while using technological resources, as well as age-appropriate language (Boff, Liboni, Batista, de Souza, & Oliveira, 2016).…”

The prevalence of overweight and obesity in adolescents has quadrupled over the last 30 years, with signifi cant consequences for life expectancy. The main non-pharmacological intervention for these conditions is lifestyle modifi cation. This experience report describes an interdisciplinary intervention based on the Transtheoretical Model (TTM), delivered to a group of obese adolescents with the aim of increasing motivation for lifestyle modifi cation, evaluating motivation to change health-related behaviors, and discuss techniques to facilitate the evolution through the stages of change. The study involved thirteen participants with a mean age of 16.32 years (SD = 1.21), of whom fi ve were male and a eight, female. The purpose of this report is to describe how the processes for change can increase motivation for lifestyle change in this population. At the end of the intervention, participants showed increased motivation to exercise regularly and improve eating habits, as well as a mean overall weight loss.
