Table 1.
Anthropometric measures of the overweight/obese adolescents at baseline and during the weight loss treatment, stratifying by sex.
Figure 1.
Telomere length distribution in boys and girls before and after the intensive lifestyle intervention.
Significant differences were found after 2 months vs. before the multidisciplinary program.
Figure 2.
Telomere length change after the intensive intervention as a function of telomere length at baseline.
The scatter plot shows the entire adolescent’s sample (n = 74), each dot representing one individual. Relative telomere length is adjusted for age and sex.

Table 3.
Multivariable-adjusted differences (95% confidence intervals) in the change of the anthropometric measures, by the median of baseline telomere length in boys.
