摘要

Introduction: Psychosocial correlates of medically complex obesity are poorly understood in adolescents.

Results and Conclusion: A higher body mass index and greater number of comorbidities were associated with diminished health-related quality of life, thus underscoring the relevance of psychosocial functioning in obese youth.
