Obesity is many common diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease and knee osteoarthritis. Don't want to see this? Remove adsObesity is currently defined using a person’s body mass index, or BMI. This is calculated as weight (in kilograms) divided by the square of height (in metres). In people of European descent, the BMI for obesity is 30 kg/m² and over. But the risk to health and wellbeing is not determined by weight – and therefore BMI – alone.

In people of European descent, the BMI for obesity is 30 kg/m² and over. But the risk to health and wellbeing is not determined by weight – and therefore BMI – alone. We've been part of a global collaboration that has spent the past two years discussing how this should change. Today we publish how we think obesity should be defined and why.

Previous reviews of system dynamics models of obesity have shown that most modelling efforts focus on adult populations and are contextualised for North America. Few models have been developed for the Australian population or used to examine public health strategies for children and adolescents. In this study, we developed a national system dynamics simulation model to explore how various policy interventions impact child and adolescent obesity in Australia.

IntroductionChildhood and adolescent overweight and obesity is a major public health issue in Australia, affecting one in four young people aged 2–17 years in 2017–18.1 This is a concern, not only because of the immediate impacts on physical and psychological health2 but because excess weight tends to persist into adulthood3, increasing the risk of obesity-associated morbidity and premature mortality.

Key PointsQuestion How do self-reported symptoms of depression, eating disorders, and binge eating change for adolescents with obesity during an intensive behavioral intervention? Findings In this randomized clinical trial of 141 adolescents, symptoms of depression, eating disorders, and binge eating reduced after 4 weeks of a very low energy diet, and this reduction was maintained to 52 weeks after transition to intermittent or continuous energy restriction.
