Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the feasibility of using wearable activity tracking devices to aid weight loss in adolescents with obesity during a weight management program.
- A total of 48 participants, averaging 14.5 years old, were randomly assigned to either an activity tracking intervention group or a control group, with an overall high attrition rate of 52.1%.
- Both groups experienced a slight decline in BMI, but the activity tracking did not significantly enhance weight loss compared to the control group, indicating that the device's effectiveness in this population is questionable.
