In search of creative and more effective interventions, our objective was to evaluate the immediate and follow-up effectiveness of a residential camp program for obese adolescents.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A total of 28 obese adolescents (15 girls), mean age 13.3\u00b11.7 years and body mass index (BMI) 30.3\u00b15.4 kg\/m\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    , who were attending a tertiary health unit, enrolled in a 2-week camp. The activities were prepared and supervised by different specialists. All adolescents were assessed for anthropometric and psychosocial variables including body image, self-esteem, quality of life and depressive symptoms. Evaluations were conducted on the first and last day of the camp and at 6 months\u2019 follow-up. The effect of treatment was analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) mixed models.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    At the end of the camp, weight was reduced by \u20132.7\u00b11.2%, BMI by \u20130.8\u00b10.4 units and waist circumference by \u20132.8\u00b19.8 cm. A reduction in depressive symptoms was identified, with greater reductions in BMI associated with a more significant improvement in depressive symptoms. At the 6 months\u2019 follow-up only girls maintained BMI reduction, with boys having increased their BMI.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Discussion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    In the short-term the camp was effective in reducing BMI and improving depressive symptoms. Only girls were able to proceed with BMI reduction at 6 months. These gender differences should be further explored. Ongoing research is examining the maintenance of these improvements.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/ijamh-2012-0107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,14]],"date-time":"2012-12-14T17:02:42Z","timestamp":1355504562000},"page":"33-38","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Short- and medium-term impact of a residential weight-loss camp for overweight adolescents"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Helena","family":"Fonseca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital de Santa Maria, Department of Pediatrics, Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Antonio Labisa","family":"Palmeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Lus\u00f3fona de Humanidades e Tecnologias \u2013 Faculdade de Educa\u00e7\u00e3o F\u00edsica e Desporto, Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Sandra","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Lus\u00f3fona de Humanidades e Tecnologias \u2013 Faculdade de Educa\u00e7\u00e3o F\u00edsica e Desporto, Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Pedro Dias","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital de Santa Maria, Department of Pediatrics, Lisboa, Portugal"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,15]]},"container-title":["ijamh"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.degruyter.com\/view\/j\/ijamh.2014.26.issue-1\/ijamh-2012-0107\/ijamh-2012-0107.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.degruyterbrill.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/ijamh-2012-0107\/xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.degruyterbrill.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/ijamh-2012-0107\/pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,28]],"date-time":"2025-11-28T00:31:54Z","timestamp":1764289914000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.degruyterbrill.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/ijamh-2012-0107\/html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,15]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1515\/ijamh-2012-0107"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1515\/ijamh-2012-0107","relation":{},"ISSN":["2191-0278","0334-0139"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"2191-0278"},{"type":"print","value":"0334-0139"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,15]]}}}
