The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity worldwide has prompted interest in the condition. Of particular concern is the increase of excess adiposity, often accompanied by reduced physical activity, in the young. In 2006 the National Institute for health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) published guidance on the identification, assessment and management of overweight and obesity in adults and children. Herein we aim to describe the approach to management of a severely obese child using the NICE guidelines and personal practice from a secondary care weight management clinic. Br J Diabetes Vasc Dis 2008; 8: 178—182

Key Words: children • obesity • NICE guideline
