CHILDHOOD OBESITY TREATMENT - METHODS AND PERSPECTIVES
Severe obesity in children and adolescents is one of the biggest threats to the Danish youth. It is a big challenge for the Danish health care system, but what treatment options do obese children and adolescents in Denmark have? Do these options follow the international acknowledged guidelines for treatment of children with severe obesity?
