The impact of behavioral weight management interventions on eating behavior traits in children with overweight or obesity: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Behavioral weight management interventions (BWMIs) are an evidence-based strategy for addressing childhood obesity. Targeting eating behavior traits (EBTs; individual tendencies determining food intake/occasions) could play a pivotal role in improving the effectiveness of these behavioral interventions. The present study describes a systematic review and meta-analysis of the impact of BWMIs on eating behavior traits in children with overweight or obesity.

Methods

Seven databases were searched, and eligible studies included randomized controlled trials reporting EBT outcomes following BWMIs delivered to children with overweight or obesity (<18 years of age). Random effects meta-analyses were conducted to compare EBT outcomes for intervention and control groups. S
