Resting Energy Expenditure and Body Composition in Children and Adolescents With Genetic, Hypothalamic, Medication-Induced or Multifactorial Severe Obesity.

For: All,

This study shows that many children with genetic forms of obesity, including 16p11.2 syndromes, have resting metabolism that can be lower or higher than expected, which means families may benefit from personalized nutrition, activity plans, and medical treatments rather than one‑size‑fits‑all weight management approaches.
