Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
* Degree of loss of body fat, improved overall fitness and improvements in metabolic indicators can be correlated with the degree of compliance and participation for 6 months in the program.
* Parental involvement and support can be correlated with the degree of compliance and participation in the program.
* Socioeconomic factors can be correlated with the degree of compliance and participation in the program.
* Cultural differences in diet, attitudes toward body shape, and family dynamics can be correlated with success or failure in a weight loss program.
