Overview
Brief Summary
The study will evaluate the effect of an existing municipality-based and hospital-based obesity treatment in children and adolescents in relation to weight loss and motivation. This is to ensure that children who have developed obesity have the possibility to obtain a healthier lifestyle, including a healthier body weight during their school years. This study will test whether an obesity treatment program designed for school children can reduce the degree of overweight in children and adolescents with overweight and obesity.

Primary Outcomes
Changes in BMI during weight-loss program of childhood overweight and obesity
Time Frame: December 2022 - February 2026
The primary objective is to investigate the changes in BMI z-score among children and adolescents with overweight or obesity who participated in a municipality-based or hospital-based weight-loss program, and whether existing characteristics of the child and parents at baseline modify this association. In addition we also want to characterize those who do not respond to treatment either because they gain or regain BMI z-score, or drop-out of the weight-loss program.
