The Edmonton Obesity Staging System for Pediatrics (EOSS-P) in Mexican Children and Adolescents Living with Obesity: Beyond BMI Obesity Classes.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: The Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS) was developed to stage the obesity in adult populations. Subsequently, this staging system was designed for pediatric populations (EOSS-P). This study aimed to describe obesity severity using EOSS-P and correlate it with BMI classes in Mexican children and adolescents living with obesity. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis carried out with data from school-age children and adolescents living with obesity who were referred to the Pediatric Obesity Clinic at the Child Welfare Unit at the General Hospital of Mexico "Dr. Eduardo Liceaga". Obesity was staged using the EOSS-P. To evaluate the association between obesity classes and each EOSS-P domain, as well as overall EOSS-P staging, we performed Bayesian
