Abstract
Severe obesity, defined as a body mass index (BMI) >120th percent of the 95th BMI percentile for age and sex, is the fastest growing subcategory of obesity among children and adolescents. The aims of this study were to explore how parents and adolescents understand severe obesity and incorporate management into their daily lives and evaluate the applicability of the Family Management Styles Framework (FMSF) to severe obesity in adolescents.
