Interventions of weight reduction and prevention in children and adolescents: update.
There is currently a plethora of information regarding the assessment and treatment of obesity in adults, adolescents, and children available to individuals working in health care-related fields. However, summarizing this information, especially for the pediatric population, is a daunting task. The purpose of this study is to simplify, summarize, and alert pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and health care providers/workers to the main nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment options concerning pediatric obesity and weight loss.
