Funded by a European grant, a group of European obesity researchers convened in 2018 to create a plan for helping shape future RCTs in the field of obesity by identifying the minimal set of variables that should be included in trials of different kinds of obesity interventions, whatever the type and the endpoints of the intervention. keywords: assessment; body; clinical; core; core set; data; disease; fat; group; health; interventions; loss; mass; measures; obedis; obesity; risk; set; sleep; studies; trials; variables; weight cache: cord-012493-pwbzffo9.txt plain text: cord-012493-pwbzffo9.txt item: #3 of 29 id: cord-034066-fsp7e5x5 author: Di Figlia-Peck, Stephanie title: Treatment of children and adolescents who are overweight or obese date: 2020-10-21 words: 10692 flesch: 39 summary: The researchers concluded that CAAT holds promise as a treatment modality since overweight and obese children are often less effective in regulating food intake compared to normal weight children.
