Abstract
The prevalence of overweight and obesity among young patients increases with age, and affects one out of five at secondary school level. Ensuring continuous care of these young patients during their growth into adulthood is a true challenge, and requires a close collaboration of pediatric and adult care teams. Each step of this transition is precarious and needs specific attentions and competencies to be successful, as teenagers and young adults are simultaneously undergoing multiple changes and challenges. As each of these young patients present with their own individual development and life experiences, individualized care transitional care plans are necessary.
