Long-term maintenance of exercise and healthy eating behaviors in overweight adults.

TL;DR: Behavioural interventions that deal with both diet and physical activity show small but significant benefits on weight loss maintenance.

TL;DR: Despite limited evidence, higher autonomous motivation, self-efficacy, and self-regulation skills emerged as the best predictors of beneficial weight and physical activity outcomes; for weight control, positive body image and flexible eating restraint may additionally improve outcomes.

TL;DR: The authors provide an overview of existing physical activity intervention research, focusing on subpopulations and intervention modalities, and provide a single document that provides a qualitative overview of intervention research that emphasizes selected topics of particular importance for improving the population-wide impact of interventions.

TL;DR: Practice guidelines for the treatment and prevention of pediatric obesity are formulated and bariatric surgery for adolescents with BMI above 50 kg/m2, or BMI above 40 kg/ m2 with severe comorbidities in whom lifestyle modifications and/or pharmacotherapy have failed are suggested.

TL;DR: The increases in the prevalences of obesity and overweight previously observed continued in 1999-2000, and increases occurred for both men and women in all age groups and for non-Hispanic whites, non- Hispanic blacks, and Mexican Americans.

TL;DR: Between 1976–80 and 1988–94, the prevalence of obesity (BMI≥30.0) increased markedly in the US, in agreement with trends seen elsewhere in the world.

TL;DR: Two scales to measure stages of change for exercise behavior and exercise self-efficacy indicated employees who had not yet begun to exercise, in contrast with those who exercised regularly, had little confidence in their ability to exercise.
