Abstract

Adolescent weight management demands a multi-faceted approach incorporating individualized, intensive interventions. Key success factors include personal motivation, family support, and positive program experiences. Digital health tools, school-based programs, and community initiatives offer effective delivery platforms. Beyond diet and exercise, addressing psychological well-being is crucial. New guidelines embrace a holistic view, integrating nutrition, physical activity, and behavioral support, with advanced options like pharmacotherapy and bariatric surgery for severe cases. The goal is to foster sustainable healthy lifestyles through comprehensive, tailored strategies.
