Abstract

This chapter provides a brief overview of physical and cognitive growth and development during adolescence and how these drastic changes may impact eating behaviors. Body and weight dissatisfaction, meal skipping, and snacking in place of eating meals are frequent behaviors that can impact health. Annual screening for weight status and hypertension is recommended; however, screening for hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance is recommended only for adolescents who are overweight or obese or those with a significant family history of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. A staged approach to weight management is recommended based on the degree of adiposity and the presence of comorbidities.
