Abstract

Purpose of review: Review latest data regarding the intersection of pediatric obesity epidemic with telemedicine expansion to meet the need of equitable obesity care in children.

Recent findings: Prevalence of pediatric obesity in the USA continues to worsen particularly in rural, underserved areas. Although there is an increasing number of obesity medicine specialists over the last decade, availability varies by geographic location. Pre-pandemic centers were limited, rarely located in rural areas, and required in-person visits for reimbursement. Telemedicine changes, responding to pandemic needs, provided increase in telemedicine utilization and acceptance with similar or improved obesity care outcomes. Given pediatric obesity prevalence and need for chronic, effective obesity care, leveraging telemedicine to expand reach and decrease access barriers provides a critical and creative remedy. Data cites similar outcomes between telemedicine and in-person care. The time to reimagine a full spectrum of care delivery for pediatric obesity is now.

通过远程医疗进行儿童肥胖护理：拓展前进道路——综述。

审查目的：审查有关儿童肥胖流行与远程医疗扩展交叉的最新数据，以满足儿童公平肥胖护理的需求。最近的研究结果：美国儿童肥胖的患病率继续恶化，尤其是在服务不足的农村地区。尽管在过去十年中，肥胖医学专家的数量不断增加，但其可用性因地理位置而异。疫情前的中心有限，很少设在农村地区，需要亲自探访才能报销。远程医疗的变化，响应了流行病的需求，提高了远程医疗的利用率和接受率，并带来了类似或改善的肥胖护理结果。考虑到儿童肥胖的普遍性和对慢性有效肥胖护理的需求，利用远程医疗扩大覆盖范围和减少获取障碍提供了一种关键和创造性的治疗方法。数据引用了远程医疗和面对面护理之间类似的结果。现在是时候重新构想为儿童肥胖提供全方位护理了。
