ABSTRACT

Although obesity affects approximately one in five youths, only a fraction is treated in pediatric weight management clinics. Characteristics distinguishing youth with obesity who seek weight management treatment from those who do not are largely unknown. Yet identification of specific health characteristics which differentiate treatment‐seeking from non‐treatment seeking youth with obesity may shed light on underlying motivations for pursuing treatment.
