Are low-glycemic diets effective in treating obesity in children (age 6-12) and adolescents?
-
Conclusion
Use of an ad libitum low-glycemic diet may be effective for modest short-term weight loss in children (ages six to 12) and may be effective for longer-term weight loss in adolescents.

Grade: III
- Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
- Grade II is Fair;
- Grade III is Limited/Weak;
- Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
- Grade V is Not Assignable.
- 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.
- Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
