A study suggests that more U.S. teens with obesity are getting weight-loss surgeries, in line with official guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
More teens with obesity are getting weight-loss surgeries year over year in the U.S., a new analysis suggests.
Just this year, the AAP released more detailed guidelines for treating children and teens with obesity. These new guidelines also emphasized surgeries as a treatment option to consider for teens with severe obesity, meaning those with a body mass index equal to or greater than 120% of the 95th percentile for their age and sex.
