[A chronobiological approach to the treatment of obesity in children based at a sanatorium and spa facility].
The objective of the study was to evaluate results of non-medicamental treatment of 167 children with obesity taking into account dynamics of annual rhythms of their clinical, hormonal, metabolic, and psychological characteristics. The period from August till November was shown to be especially favourable in terms of body weight loss, improvement of hormonal, metabolic, and psychic status. Analysis of these changes permitted to correct the proposed mode of combined therapy of obesity during the period from December till July.
