  CURRENT RESEARCH IN DIABETES & OBESITY JOURNAL JUNIPER PUBLISHERS Authored by Leila Ben Amor Abstract Objective: To describe clinical factors associated with SGA-induced weight gain induced by long-term second generation antipsychotic (SGA) treatment in children and adolescents. Methods: A 24-month retrospective study conducted between November 2005 and June 2013. 147 antipsychotic-naive patients were selected [mean age 12.8; (95% CI 9.8 to 15.9)] and treated with an SGA (risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine and aripiprazole) for up to 24 months.
