Summary

This study tests whether video consultations are as effective as in-person hospital visits for treating overweight in children aged 9-11. After an initial visit, children are randomly assigned to continue care either at the clinic or via video calls. The goal is to see if remote care can help children achieve a healthier weight and body composition.
