Eligible studies were full\u2010text randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating pharmacological and\/or lifestyle weight management interventions in patients with aHO of any age. Outcomes included four domains: anthropometric and body composition measures, metabolic markers, behavioral and energy\u2010related outcomes, and adverse events. Risk of bias was assessed using the adapted Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool, and certainty of evidence was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework. Owing to substantial heterogeneity in interventions and outcome measurements, only descriptive synthesis was performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seven RCTs were included. Semaglutide demonstrated sustained weight loss, while long\u2010acting exenatide reduced fat mass without substantial lean mass loss. Tesomet was associated with reductions in both body weight and lean mass, whereas diazoxide showed limited efficacy for weight management. Several interventions improved satiety and reduced hunger, although metabolic findings were inconsistent across studies. Adverse events were mostly mild to moderate. Risk of bias assessment identified one study at high risk of bias and one with some concerns. According to the GRADE framework, certainty of evidence was low for anthropometric\/body composition, metabolic, and behavioral\/energy outcomes and moderate for adverse events.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Current evidence suggests that selected pharmacological interventions may improve weight\u2010related and body composition outcomes in aHO; however, evidence remains limited and of predominantly low certainty. Existing studies are constrained by inadequate assessment of lean body mass and poorly standardized lifestyle interventions. Future large\u2010scale, long\u2010term RCTs incorporating systematic body composition assessment and structured lifestyle intervention protocols are needed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/oby.70267","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T14:48:08Z","timestamp":1787755688000},"page":"1687-1698","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Body Composition and Lifestyle Interventions in Pharmacological Treatment of Acquired Hypothalamic Obesity: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-4891-7111","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanhan","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Exercise and Health Shanghai University of Sport  Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jieping","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Exercise and Health Shanghai University of Sport  Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingyue","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Human Performance &amp; Metabolism, Mary MacKillop Institute for Health Research Australian Catholic University  East Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lili","family":"Ji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Exercise and Health Shanghai University of Sport  Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shanshan","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Exercise and Health Shanghai University of Sport  Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tiemin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Genetic Engineering, Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism Human Phenome Institute and School of Life Sciences, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University  Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ru","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Exercise and Health Shanghai University of Sport  Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-8587(24)00283-3","article-title":"Hypothalamic Obesity: From Basic Mechanisms to Clinical Perspectives","volume":"13","author":"Argente J.","year":"2025","journal-title":"Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365\u20102265.2005.02231.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11102\u2010008\u20100096\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1530\/EC\u201024\u20100493"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1798","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clnu.2024.05.028","article-title":"Feasibility, Safety, and Efficacy of Dietary or Lifestyle Interventions for Hypothalamic Obesity: A Systematic Review","volume":"43","author":"Van Roessel I.","year":"2024","journal-title":"Clinical Nutrition"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/dom.16012"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41591\u2010024\u201003412\u2010w"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.16352\/j.issn.1001\u20106325.2024.05.0729"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4437","DOI":"10.1111\/dom.70725","article-title":"Defining Acquired Hypothalamic Obesity: An Expert Call for Unified Diagnosis and Therapeutic Action","volume":"28","author":"Santen H.
