"Childhood Obesity Prevention in Texas summarizes the information gathered at a workshop held February 5-6, 2009, in Austin, Texas. At this workshop, committee members met with Texas lawmakers, public officials, and community leaders to exchange ideas and to view first-hand strategies that are being implemented effectively at the state and local levels to prevent and reverse childhood obesity. Texas leaders at the workshop expressed the strong belief that the state's economic vitality and security depend on the health of its population. Accordingly, the state is no longer simply describing the personal, community, and financial costs of its obesity crisis; it is taking proactive steps to address the problem through strategic initiatives. An overarching strategy is to address obesity by targeting the state's youth, in whom it may be possible to instill healthy behaviors and lifestyles to last a lifetime. A guiding principle of these efforts is that they should be evidence based, community specific, sustainable, cost-effective, and supported by effective partnerships. Moreover, the goal is for the responsibility to be broadly shared by individuals, families, communities, and the public and private sectors."--Publisher's website.

This dissertation by Joakim Ekberg at Linköping University explores the design and evaluation of online health-promoting communities as a means to address obesity prevention among adolescents in Sweden. The research investigates the prevalence of obesity, particularly among children and adolescents, and the necessity for secondary prevention strategies. The work highlights the importance of personalized, community-based health promotion, especially considering adolescents' extensive online engagement. The studies conducted utilize data from a cohort in Östergötland, Sweden, to predict obesity from childhood body mass index and design interventions. The dissertation emphasizes the potential of online platforms to serve public health goals effectively and economically, while also balancing community autonomy with quality control. The intended audience includes public health professionals, policymakers, and researchers interested in obesity prevention and online health intervention design.

This policy brief addresses the pressing public health challenge of obesity among children and adolescents, recognizing it as a complex chronic disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the role of primary health care in effectively responding to the obesity epidemic. The document outlines strategies for prevention and management through integrated health services, multisectoral policies, and community empowerment. It underscores the importance of addressing the social, food, and urban environments that contribute to obesity, while advocating for equitable access to healthcare services for affected populations. The brief aims to guide healthcare systems in improving health outcomes and achieving universal health coverage.

Approximately 14% of children and adolescents in Norway are overweight or obese. Overweight and obesity can affect physical and psychosocial health. Treatment may provide several health benefits. We have assessed the effectiveness of interventions to reduce body mass index (BMI) and/or body mass index standard deviation score (BMI z-score) in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity and conclude that: 1. Combined lifestyle interventions involving structured strategies for change in diet and physical activity may reduce BMI and BMI z-score compared with little or no treatment. We have moderate confidence in the documentation. 2. Increased physical activity may lead to decrease in BMI compared with little or no treatment. We have moderate confidence in the documentation. 3. We do not know if low glycemic index or load diet may reduce BMI z-score more than low-fat diet and diet with high glycemic index. We were unable to conclude on other dietary interventions. 4. Metformin, in addition to lifestyle interventions, may reduce BMI z-scores more than placebo in obese adolescents with impaired glucose tolerance. We have low confidence in the documentation. Surgical treatment may reduce BMI and BMI z-scores more than lifestyle interventions in adolescents with obesity. We have moderate confidence in the documentation.
