title: [Obesity in adolescents: simple to diagnose, complex to treat].
abstract: Obesity concerns 3 to 4% of adolescents between the ages of 11-18. It comes with multiple difficulties. On an immediate level, psychological suffering, the cause and consequence of a social malaise, favours the worsening of the obesity. To a lesser extent, somatic complications are either silent, or associated with a functional impact. Treatment is multi-disciplinary.
