Abstract
Mindfulness-based interventions are generally acceptable and show potential for improving lifestyle behaviors. However, their impact on BMI remains inconsistent in children with overweight or obesity. Comprehensive behavioral interventions that combine mindfulness practices with conventional approaches may enhance effectiveness. Given the limited evidence, these findings should be interpreted with caution.PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023411790. • Childhood obesity is a significant public health concern, and conventional interventions have achieved limited success. • Mindfulness-based interventions offer a promising alternative to conventional approaches. A systematic review is urgently needed to evaluate their acceptability and effectiveness in improving lifestyle behaviors and body mass index (BMI) in children with overweight or obesity. • Mindfulness-based interventions are generally acceptable to children with overweight or obesity. • Mindfulness-based interventions show potential for improving lifestyle behaviors, but their effectiveness in reducing BMI remains inconsistent.
