Abstract

Introduction. Regarding the increasing trend of OBESITY in CHILDREN and ADOLESCENTS and the sequelae of childhood OBESITY in adulthood, its TREATMENT should be intensified from early age. In the present study, different methods of controlling OBESITY in CHILDREN and ADOLESCENTS are evaluated. Methods. In this clinical trial, 120 CHILDREN and ADOLESCENTS aged between 2-18 years, have been randomly divided in four groups: two groups received HERBAL DRUGS, one group placebo and the fourth received no medication. All groups were taught similarly for physical activity and diet therapy. All subjects were visited after 6, 12 and 24 weeks. Their serum cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-C and LDL-C were measured after 12 and 24 weeks. Data have been analyzed by SPSS V10/Win software using ANOVA, Friedman and Wilcoxon Signed Rank tests. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results. The finding showed that in the first follow up visit (after 6 weeks), the mean weight loss was higher in the fourth than the other three groups (30% vs. 16.6%, 0%,10%,P<0.05).In further follow up visits, there was no significant weight loss from the first follow up visit. Discussion. Since the group not receiving drug and placebo had better results in losing weight, it seems that those receiving drugs (or placebo) gave up other recommendations. Since weight loss was not continuous in further follow up, more compliance of families and change in lifestyle seems necessary.
