The Effects of Teleinterventions on Pediatric Weight Control: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Teleinterventions, particularly when incorporating family engagement and structured professional interaction, yielded significant short- to medium-term improvements in weight control for children and adolescents living with overweight or obesity compared to nonteleinterventions. These findings highlight the promising role of telemedicine as a valuable modality for addressing the public health challenge of childhood obesity.
