Inclusion criteria

Individuals 18-26 years with a BMI in the obesity range (BMI ≥95th percentile for age and sex or ≥30 kg/m2) with either 1) genetically confirmed diagnosis of PWS, 2) hypothalamic obesity as defined by damage to the medial hypothalamic region resulting in dysregulation of satiety and energy balance as diagnosed by a physician, 3) general obesity unrelated to a genetic syndrome or underlying medical condition
