In recent decades, childhood obesity has emerged as a significant global health issue, affecting approximately 107.7 million children worldwide. Currently, the use of pharmacological treatments for childhood obesity is limited. This study examined the efficacy of Liraglutide in treating obesity in children and teenagers. Until October 20, 2022, a comprehensive literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase. Search terms such as “liraglutide,“ “childhood obesity,“ “children,“ and “teenagers“ were used. The review identified a total of 185 articles, undergoing various stages of the selection process, of which three studies were included demonstrating the effectiveness of liraglutide in treating obesity in children and teenagers. The selected studies were conducted in the United States of America. Liraglutide was used as an intervention and was administered to 296 participants at a maximum dose of 3.0 mg. All the analyzed trials were in phase 3. Posterior to a detailed analysis, it was determined that there were no clinically significant differences between liraglutide and body weight (kg; MD -2.62; 95% CI -6.35 to 1.12; p = 0.17) or body mass index (kg/m2; MD -0.80; 95% CI -2.33 to 0.73, p = 0.31). There was no evidence that liraglutide increased episodes of hypoglycemia (RR 1.08; 95% CI 0.37 to 3.15; p = 0.79) or side effects. However, the drug was shown to contribute to reducing BMI and weight when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. A lifestyle change may have positive outcomes that will be evaluated in the future as adjunctive therapy.
