Abstract
Much of adult obesity has its roots in childhood. One of the tragedies of the current obesity epidemic is the significant and increasing prevalence of obesity in the young. One principal predictor of adult obesity is childhood obesity. We describe here the classification, epidemiology, causality, comorbidities, and treatment of adolescent obesity, both pharmacologic and surgical.Entities:
