Review on childhood obesity prevention updated

▤ Summary

Being overweight as a child can cause health problems, and children may be affected psychologically and in their social life. The review authors searched many scientific databases to find studies that looked at ways of preventing obesity in children. Studies were included only if the methods they were using were aimed at changing childrens diet, or their level of physical activity, or both. Strategies to change diet or physical activity, or both, given to adolescents and young adults aged 13 to 18 years, did not successfully reduce zBMI. Less evidence was found for adolescents and young people aged 13 to 18, and the strategies given to them did not reduce their zBMI score.
