For this review, we differentiate between prevention, often
called “intervention” in the childhood obesity research
field, and treatment, also called “weight management” or
“weight loss.” The main goal of most childhood obesity
prevention programs is to prevent nonoverweight children
from becoming overweight or obese, while the primary
objective of obesity treatment programs is for pediatric
patients to lose weight. Programs designed for obesity
prevention may also help overweight or obese children
lose or stabilize their weight. The present review focuses
on prevention. A recent Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality (AHRQ) report10 reviewed the targeted
treatment of overweight or obese children, so we did not
address that topic in this review
