  • Abstract

    Sex differences in body composition emerge during adolescence and persist throughout the life course. Lifestyle intervention in youth can alter body composition but little is known about sex differences in response to lifestyle in the pediatric population. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate sex differences in measures of adiposity following lifestyle interventions among children and adolescents.
