Weight development in children with obesity without treatment: A Danish cohort study with long‐term follow‐up
Higher BMI z-scores inversely predict normalizing BMI and achieving obesity remission in untreated children. Given that many children naturally achieve obesity remission or weight normalization, resources should focus on understanding barriers of obesity maintenance and to develop effective strategies for those who do not experience improvement.
