Implication

Evidence review demonstrates short-term body mass index reduction in youth, highlighting the need for long-term outcome data.

Key Points

  • To assess the short- and long-term effects of pediatric weight management interventions on body mass index and safety outcomes.
  • Evaluated weight management interventions, including behavioral strategies and pharmacotherapy, in pediatric cohorts.
  • Assessed changes in body mass index (BMI), serious harms, and outcomes beyond 1 year and following medication discontinuation.
  • Short-term weight management interventions led to lower BMI in children and adolescents with no evidence of serious harm.
  • Evidence is insufficient regarding the maintenance of BMI reductions beyond 1 year, the effects of medication discontinuation, and longer-term clinical outcomes.
