 This study found that adolescents with overweight or obesity have different experiences when it comes to weight loss and healthy lifestyle habits. For example, while both genders experience similar barriers such as eating behaviors and lack of motivation, female adolescents also faced additional barriers like physical activity, friends, and time constraints. Additionally, male adolescents did not face these same challenges. The study also found that there are some shared facilitators between the two genders, including parental, familial, and peer support, as well as internal motivation and participation in organized sports. These findings suggest that tailored weight management interventions should be designed specifically for each gender to ensure better outcomes. This article was authored by Michelle I.
