INTRODUCTION: Psychosocial correlates of medically complex obesity are poorly understood in adolescents. METHODS: Health-related quality of life was examined among 111 obese adolescents with medical comorbidities. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A higher body mass index and greater number of comorbidities were associated with diminished health-related quality of life, thus underscoring the relevance of psychosocial functioning in obese youth.
