Expert Exchange Workgroup on Children Aged 5 and Younger with Severe Obesity: Provider Observations of Youth with Severe Early Onset Obesity in Tertiary Care Obesity Programs.

CONCLUSIONS: Drawing on the experience of an interdisciplinary group of healthcare providers, this is the first study to describe provider observations of the young child with severe early onset obesity. If validated, these observations can serve to illuminate areas for further education and inform potential clinical subtyping, providing an opportunity to identify target areas for intervention.
