Children and adolescents with obesity lost weight and showed improvements in metabolic health after following a 12-month, video-based weight loss program, according to research presented today at the 60th Annual European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology Meeting. The multi-component, educational program tackled food choices, meal quantities and physical activity during 12 months of the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in Germany. Participants not only lost weight but also showed improvements in other measures of their metabolic health and dietary behavior, all of which contribute to a better quality of life with a reduced risk of serious health issues in the future.
