RESUMEN

Background: Obesity prevalence among adolescent girls continues to rise. Acceptance-based therapy (ABT) is effective for weight loss in adults and feasible and acceptable for weight loss among adolescents. This pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) assessed effectiveness of an adolescent-tailored ABT intervention on decreasing weight-related outcomes and improving psychological outcomes compared with enhanced care. Methods: In this 6-month, two-arm pilot RCT, participants were randomized to the ABT intervention or to enhanced care. The ABT intervention condition attended 15 virtual, 90-minute group sessions. The enhanced care comparison received 15 healthy lifestyle handouts and virtually met twice with a registered dietitian. The primary outcome assessed was change in BMI expressed as a percentage of the 95th percentile (%BMIp95). Results: Participants included 40 girls (ages 14-19) assigned to ABT (n = 20) or enhanced care (n = 20). A decrease in %BMIp95 was observed within the ABT intervention [d = -0.19, 95% confidence interval, CI: (-0.36 to -0.02)], however, not within the enhanced care comparison [d = -0.01, 95% CI: (-0.09 to 0.07)]. The ABT group showed slight changes in psychological flexibility [d = -0.34, 95% CI: (-0.62 to -0.06)] over enhanced care [d = -0.11, 95% CI: (-0.58 to 0.37)]. There was no significant intervention effect noted between groups. Conclusion: In this pilot RCT, the ABT intervention was as effective as enhanced care for weight loss. However, previous ABT studies occurred in person, and this study was conducted virtually due to COVID-19. Thus, future research investigating the potential effectiveness of ABT in-person among adolescents and optimization of virtual interventions is needed.

RESUMEN

Importance: Bariatric surgery effectively treats severe obesity and metabolic diseases. However, individual outcomes vary depending on sustainable lifestyle change. Little is known about lifestyle patterns after bariatric surgery among the US population. Objective: To compare the level of physical activity and eating behavior among postbariatric surgery patients, individuals eligible for surgery, and those with normal weight. Design, Setting, and Participants: A cross-sectional study using nationally representative survey data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2015-2018. Respondents included for analysis were age 18 years or older, and categorized by individuals with normal weight, individuals who received bariatric surgery, and individuals clinically eligible for bariatric surgery. Analyses were performed from February to October 2021. Main Outcomes and Measures: Self-reported measures were used to assess physical activity (moderate-to-vigorous physical activity [MVPA], sedentary activity, and whether PA guidelines were met) and eating behaviors (total energy intake and Healthy Eating Index [HEI]-2015 diet quality scores). Results: Of 4659 study participants (mean [SD] age, 46.1 [18.6] years; 2638 [weighted percentage, 58.8%] women; 1114 [weighted percentage, 12.7%] Black, 1570 [weighted percentage, 68.6%] White), 132 (3.7%) reported that they had undergone any bariatric surgery. Median (IQR) time since surgery was 7 (3-10) years. After propensity-score weighting, individuals who underwent bariatric surgery reported more time spent in MVPA than those eligible for surgery (147.9 min/wk vs 97.4 min/wk). Among respondents with normal weight, 45.6% (95% CI, 40.8% to 52.4%) reported meeting PA guidelines, almost 2 times higher than those in the bariatric surgery (23.1%; 95% CI, 13.8% to 32.4%) or in the surgery-eligible group (20.3%; 95% CI, 15.6% to 25.1%). Propensity-score weighted overall HEI was higher for individuals with normal weight (54.4; 95% CI, 53.0 to 55.9) than those who underwent bariatric surgery (50.0; 95% CI, 47.2 to 52.9) or were eligible for the surgery (48.0; 95% CI, 46.0 to 50.0). Across all HEI components, mean scores were similar between the bariatric surgery and surgery-eligible groups. Total energy intake was the lowest among those who underwent bariatric surgery (1746 kcal/d; 95% CI, 1554 to 1937 kcal/d), followed by those with normal weight (1943 kcal/d; 95% CI, 1873 to 2013 kcal/d) and those eligible for bariatric surgery (2040 kcal/d; 1953 to 2128 kcal/d). Conclusions and Relevance: In this cross-sectional study, individuals who underwent bariatric surgery had beneficial lifestyle patterns compared with those eligible for surgery; however, these improvements seemed suboptimal based on the current guidelines. Efforts are needed to incorporate benefits of physical activity and a healthy, balanced diet in postbariatric care.

RESUMEN

Obesity is a multifactorial disease that disproportionally affects diverse racial and ethnic groups. Structural racism influences racial inequities in obesity prevalence through environmental factors, such as racism and discrimination, socioeconomic status, increased levels of stress, and bias in the health care delivery system. Researchers, clinicians, and policy makers must work to address the environmental and systematic barriers that contribute to health inequities in the United States. Specifically, clinicians should quantitatively and qualitatively assess environmental and social factors and proactively engage in patient-centered care to tailor available treatments based on identified needs and experiences.

RESUMEN

Nearly one-fifth of the pediatric population in the United States has obesity. Comprehensive behavioral interventions, with at least 26 contact hours, are the recommended treatment for pediatric obesity; however, there are various barriers to implementing treatment. This Perspective applies the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment (EPIS) framework to address barriers to implementing multidisciplinary pediatric weight management clinics and identify potential solutions and areas for additional research. Lack of insurance coverage and reimbursement, high operating costs, and limited access to stage 4 care clinics with sufficient capacity were among the main barriers identified. Clinicians, researchers, and patient advocates are encouraged to facilitate conversations with insurance companies and hospital and clinic administrators, increase telehealth adoption, request training to improve competency and self-efficacy discussing and implementing obesity care, and advocate for more stage 4 clinics.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review was to investigate and synthesize psychosocial outcomes from pharmacotherapy experimental trials for weight loss among adolescents with obesity. RECENT FINDINGS: There is a paucity of research regarding pharmacological interventions for adolescents with obesity. These studies have typically reported reductions in weight, and side effects have been inconsistently described. Overall, medication seems to be a safe and effective obesity treatment modality for adolescents with obesity. Six articles were included in this review. Studies varied in medication type, medication dosing, lifestyle components, psychosocial measures, measurement intervals, and psychosocial outcomes. All studies found a reduction in weight and/or BMI. Studies were often underpowered to detect differences in psychosocial variables, which were always considered secondary or exploratory outcomes. Future research should include psychosocial outcomes as a primary endpoint of pharmacological interventions for adolescent obesity. Ultimately, the treatment of the complex disease of obesity deserves to be assessed through multiple health domains extending beyond weight reduction.
