- Abstract
Obesity is defined as excess body fat with adverse health consequences and is a chronic disease often associated with co-morbidities when it persists into adulthood. It is therefore important to support adolescents with obesity during the transition to adulthood in order to avoid a medical worsening. This risk is particularly important in the case of monogenic or syndromic obesity, especially as it is also a period of fragility with an important psychosocial dimension. Dedicated organizations have emerged since few years, such as transition platforms, to facilitate coordination between health professionals and help young people to integrate their dedicated care pathway as adult.
