Intervention
What is the evidence to support using a low fat diet (<20% of total daily energy intake) as a means to treat pediatric obesity?
-
Conclusion
No research was identified in which a diet with less than 20% of total daily energy intake from fat was used to treat childhood obesity. There is insufficient evidence to make a judgment on the effectiveness of using a low-fat diet (under 20% of total daily energy intake) as a means of weight management in children or adolescents.

- High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
- Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
- Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
- Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
