Obesity is the most common disorder of childhood and adolescence. Childhood obesity can have immediate health consequences, including diabetes, a worsening of asthma, and liver disease., Obesity often continues into adulthood, leading to long-term health problems such as heart disease and cancer. Evidence on treatments for childhood obesity is limited. Most treatments designed to promote weight loss in children have so far been unsuccessful. Recently, a new device, the Mandolean, was found to help with weight loss in adolescents when used with a weight management programme. The Mandolean is a weighing scale which measures the user’s rate of eating and satiety (fullness) and provides feedback to help change eating behaviours. This study aims to establish the clinical and cost-effectiveness of the addition of Mandolean to a weight management programme for children aged 5-11 years.
