Hypothalamic obesity: review finds limited treatment evidence
A systematic review in Obesity examined seven randomised trials in acquired hypothalamic obesity.
A systematic review in Obesity examined seven randomised trials in acquired hypothalamic obesity. The authors judged most evidence about weight, body composition and metabolic outcomes to be of low certainty. Lifestyle interventions were poorly standardised, and lean body mass was inadequately assessed. This supports further research; it does not establish an effective lifestyle package or a treatment recommendation for an individual.
