Weight loss interventions in young people (18 to 25 year olds): a systematic review
Obesity Reviews, 11/06/09

Poobalan AS et al. – Before and after comparison of behavioural/motivational interventions and combination interventions consistently showed weight loss. Behavioural/motivational interventions increased self–efficacy, the desire to control weight, boosted self–esteem, and increased satisfaction with body areas and appearance. Interventions also showed improvements in HDL cholesterol, insulin, glucose and maximum oxygen uptake. However, recruitment to participation in interventions was a barrier for this age group with small sample sizes and short–term interventions. There may be gender differences in preference to participation in certain type of interventions. Further research to understand attitudes towards healthy lifestyle and preferences of interventions is needed to develop suitable interventions for this vulnerable age group.
