Evaluating appetite/satiety hormones and eating behaviours as predictors of weight loss maintenance with GLP ‐1RA therapy in adolescents with severe obesity
ConclusionsPrior to exenatide, lower leptin response to meals was associated with improved WLM with exenatide compared to placebo. The mostly null findings of this study suggest that GLP1-RA treatment may produce similar WLM for adolescents with obesity regardless of age, BMI, sex and eating behaviours.

Prevalence of overweight and obesity and associated demographic and health factors in India: Findings from Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey (CNNS)
ConclusionThe findings set out policy and research recommendations to pave the path for curtailing the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity and achieving the World Health Assembly's Global Nutrition target of ‘no increase in childhood overweight (Target 4) by 2025’.

Projected impact of anti ‐obesity pharmacotherapy use on racial and ethnic disparities in adolescent obesity
ConclusionsIncreasing utilization of anti-obesity pharmacotherapy may widen relative disparities in obesity, particularly if utilization is unequal. Advocacy for equitable access is needed to minimize worsening of obesity-related disparities. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Variation in ultra ‐processed food consumption from 6 to 15 years, body weight and body composition at 15 years of age at The Pelotas 2004 Birth Cohort
ConclusionsIn crude and adjusted analyses there was a strong association between high UPF consumption from childhood to adolescence, EW and higher body fat parameters at 15 years, but its deleterious association with body adiposity was only uncovered after adjusting for confounders.

Diabetes screening outcomes in youth presenting for paediatric weight management: A report of the Paediatric Obesity Weight Evaluation Registry
ConclusionThere is discordance between FPG and HbA1c for the diagnosis of prediabetes and DM in youth with obesity. Further studies are needed to understand the predictive capability of these tests for development of DM (in those diagnosed with prediabetes) and cardiometabolic risk. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Appetitive and psychological phenotypes of pediatric patients with obesity
ConclusionAppetitive traits and psychological symptoms appear to cluster in distinct patterns, giving rise to four unique phenotypic profiles, which, if replicated, may help inform the development of tailored treatment plans. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Cost ‐effectiveness analysis of individual‐level obesity treatment in paediatrics: A scoping review
ConclusionsThere is a small amount of evidence that individual-level paediatric obesity treatment interventions are cost-effective and, in some cases cost-saving, with most of this work conducted on behavioural interventions. The economic evaluation of paediatric obesity interventions poses various methodologic challenges, which should be addressed in future research to fully use the potential of economic evaluation as an aid to decision-making.

South ‐to‐South parental migration patterns and excess weight among children: Insights from a national cross‐sectional study in Colombia
ConclusionColombian children with return migrant parents from Venezuela experienced less excess weight than children with non-migrant parents, but higher rates of food insecurity in migrant households might partially explain this difference. This study calls attention to two serious public health concerns for Colombian children —those who have excess weight and those who lack sufficient food, particularly among migrant returnees (a situation that may have worsened since the COVID-19 pandemic).

Effectiveness of a paediatric weight management intervention for rural youth (iAmHealthy): Primary outcomes of a cluster randomised control trial
ConclusionsThis trial extends previous paediatric obesity work by simultaneously increasing convenience and dose of treatment. Results suggest iAmHealthy resulted in a change in BMIz trajectories and long-term health behaviour for youth. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)

Food addiction and its impact on weight status in children and adolescents: The mediating role of responsive eating pattern
ConclusionIncreased FA is associated with a higher weight status through a specific eating behaviour pattern characterized by high responsiveness to food, emotional and rapid eating habits, and low satiety. The findings suggest that targeted interventions should take these eating behaviour patterns into account to reduce the impact of FA on weight status among children and adolescents.

Population trajectories and age ‐dependent associations of obesity risk factors with body mass index from childhood to adolescence across European regions: A two‐cohort study
ConclusionsWhilst population trajectories of media use and nocturnal sleep duration are similar across European regions, those of other behavioural risk factors like active transport and daily vegetable consumption differ. Also, associations between behavioural risk factors and BMI become stronger with age and show similar patterns across regions. (Source: Pediatric Obesity)
