Participants completed the 73 items and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory and were weighed and measured.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold><jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold>: Four factors (27 items) were identified (physical comfort, body esteem, social life, and family relations), accounting for 71% of the variance. The IWQOL\u2010Kids demonstrated excellent psychometric properties. Internal consistency coefficients ranged from 0.88 to 0.95 for scales and equaled 0.96 for total score. Convergent validity was demonstrated with strong correlations between IWQOL\u2010Kids total score and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.76, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.0001). Significant differences were found across BMI groups and between clinical and community samples, supporting the sensitivity of this measure. Participants in a weight loss camp demonstrated improved IWQOL\u2010Kids scores, suggesting responsiveness of the IWQOL\u2010Kids to weight loss\/social support intervention.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold><jats:italic>Discussion<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold>: The present study provides preliminary evidence regarding the psychometric properties of the IWQOL\u2010Kids, a weight\u2010related quality of life measure for adolescents. Given the rise of obesity in youth, the development of a reliable and valid weight\u2010related measure of quality of life is timely.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2006.59","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,23]],"date-time":"2008-04-23T13:31:56Z","timestamp":1208957516000},"page":"448-457","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":182,"title":["Assessing Weight\u2010Related Quality of Life in Adolescents"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Ronette L.","family":"Kolotkin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meg","family":"Zeller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Avani C.","family":"Modi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gregory P.","family":"Samsa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicole Polanichka","family":"Quinlan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jack A.","family":"Yanovski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen K.","family":"Bell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David M.","family":"Maahs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniela Gonzales","family":"de Serna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helmut R.","family":"Roehrig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.288.14.1728"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.291.23.2847"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ijo.0802421"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(98)70302-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2004.197"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2005.167"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199603283341306"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1054-139X(01)00211-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005650-200108000-00006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","first-page":"41","volume-title":"Quality of Life and Pharmacoeconomics in Clinical Trials","author":"Guyatt G.
