BMI reduction was maintained at 18 to 24 months of followвЂђup (monitoring participants until the end of the study), which on average was 1.49 kg/m 2 lower in the intervention groups compared with the control groups. We summarised the results of 20 studies in 1993 adolescents reporting weight, which on average was 3.67 kg lower in the intervention groups compared with the control groups. We summarised the results of 28 studies in 2774 adolescents reporting BMI, which on average was 1.18 kg/m 2 lower in the intervention groups compared with the control groups. BMI is a measure of body fat and is calculated by dividing weight (in kilograms) by the square of the body height measured in metres (kg/m 2). Most studies reported the body mass index (BMI). The average age of adolescents ranged from 12 to 17.5 years. The adolescents in the included studies were monitored (called followвЂђup) for between six months and two years. Our systematic review reports on the effects of multidisciplinary interventions, dietary interventions and physical activity interventions compared with a control group (no intervention, 'usual care,' enhanced usual care or some other therapy if it was also delivered to the intervention group). We found 44 randomised controlled trials (clinical studies where people are randomly put into one of two or more treatment groups) comparing diet, physical activity and behavioural (where habits are changed or improved) treatments (interventions) to a variety of control groups delivered to 4781 overweight or obese adolescents aged 12 to 17 years. More information is needed about what works best in treating this problem. These adolescents are more likely to suffer from health problems in later life. How effective are diet, physical activity and behavioural interventions in reducing the weight of overweight or obese adolescents aged 12 to 17 years?ДЄcross the world, more adolescents are becoming overweight and obese. Trials were inconsistent in how they measured dietary intake, dietary behaviours, physical activity and behaviour.Дiet, physical activity and behavioural interventions for the treatment of overweight or obese adolescents aged 12 to 17 years None of the included studies reported on allвЂђcause mortality, morbidity or socioeconomic effects.Д«CIs at the longest followвЂђup moderately improved adolescent's healthвЂђrelated quality of life (standardised mean difference 0.44 ((95% CI 0.09 to 0.79) P = 0.01 972 participants 7 trials 8 comparisons low quality of evidence) but not selfвЂђesteem. The rate of adverse events in intervention and control groups was unclear with only five trials reporting harms, and of these, details were provided in only one (low quality evidence). There were no subgroup differences between interventions with and without parental involvement or by intervention type or setting (health care, community, school) or mode of delivery (individual versus group). There were subgroup differences showing larger effects for both BMI and BMI z score in studies comparing interventions with no intervention/wait list control or usual care, compared with those testing concomitant interventions delivered to both the intervention and control group. The effect on weight measures persisted in trials with 18 to 24 months' followвЂђup for both BMI (MD вЂђ1.49 kg/m 2 (95% CI вЂђ2.56 to вЂђ0.41) 760 participants 6 trials and BMI z score MD вЂђ0.34 (95% CI вЂђ0.66 to вЂђ0.02) 602 participants 5 trials). BCI lowered body weight by вЂђ3.67 kg (95% CI вЂђ5.21 to вЂђ2.13) 1993 participants 20 trials moderate quality evidence. BCI lowered the change in BMI z score by вЂђ0.13 units (95% CI вЂђ0.21 to вЂђ0.05) 2399 participants 20 trials low quality evidence. The mean difference (MD) of the change in BMI at the longest followвЂђup period in favour of BCI was вЂђ1.18 kg/m 2 (95% confidence interval (CI) вЂђ1.67 to вЂђ0.69) 2774 participants 28 trials low quality evidence. The studies contributing most information to outcomes of weight and body mass index (BMI) were from studies at a low risk of bias, but studies with a high risk of bias provided data on adverse events and quality of life. The content and duration of the intervention, its delivery and the comparators varied across trials. Most of the trials used a multidisciplinary intervention with a combination of diet, physical activity and behavioural components. Participants ages ranged from 12 to 17.5 years in all trials that reported mean age at baseline.

The number of participants in each trial varied (10 to 521) as did the length of followвЂђup (6 to 24 months). We included 44 completed RCTs (4781 participants) and 50 ongoing studies.
