      interventions: A meta-analytic review.

AB  - OBJECTIVE: To quantitatively characterize change in health-related quality of 
      life (HRQoL) in the context of behavioral (n = 16), surgical (n = 5), and 
      pharmacological (n = 1) interventions for pediatric overweight and obesity. A 
      secondary goal was to examine the relationship between change in HRQoL and change 
      in body mass index (DeltaBMI) by treatment type. The amount of weight loss necessary 
      to observe a minimally clinically important difference (MCID) in HRQoL was 
      determined. METHOD: Data were gathered from studies reporting on weight change 
      and DeltaHRQoL over the course of obesity interventions (N = 22) in youths (N = 
      1,332) with average ages between 7.4 and 16.5 years (M = 12.2). An overall effect 
      size was calculated for DeltaHRQoL. Moderation analyses were conducted using analysis 
      of variance and weighted regression. MCID analyses were conducted by converting 
      HRQoL data to standard error of measurement units. RESULTS: The overall effect 
      size for DeltaHRQoL in the context of pediatric obesity interventions was medium (g = 
      0.51). A significant linear relationship was detected between DeltaBMI and DeltaHRQoL (R2 
      = 0.87). This relationship was moderated by treatment type, with medical (i.e., 
      surgical) interventions demonstrating a stronger relationship. Results indicated 
      that it takes a change of 0.998 BMI units to detect true change in HRQoL. 
      CONCLUSION: This study provides the first known quantitative examination of 
      changes in HRQoL associated with weight loss in pediatric interventions. Medical 
      interventions appear to offer a more substantial increase in HRQoL per unit of 
      BMI change. These results offer a concrete weight loss goal for noticing positive 
      effects in daily life activities. (PsycINFO Database Record
