Severe obesity in adolescents can be effectively addressed with meal-replacement therapy (MRT) and financial incentives, showing potential for improved BMI reduction.
Incorporating financial incentives into weight loss programs for adolescents with obesity can enhance adherence and treatment efficacy, as suggested by existing adult-focused research.
The study involved 126 adolescents, with half receiving MRT plus financial incentives, leading to significant BMI reduction compared to MRT alone over a year.
