Dear editor  We note with surprise a recent paper entitled “The effects of an 8-week multicomponent inpatient treatment program on body composition and anaerobic fitness in overweight and obese children and adolescents” by Karner-Rezek et al1 published in the International Journal of General Medicine concerning the effects of an 8-week multicomponent inpatient treatment program on body composition and anaerobic fitness in overweight and obese children and adolescents. We would like to take this opportunity to comment on the study findings and, in particular, address the methodological inconsistencies and ambiguities in this study.  The authors of the paper were not the same as those who designed and performed the study. Only two of the authors were directly involved in assessing specific data for body composition (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) and anaerobic performance (Wingate test). Moreover, the other authors were never involved with any of the study participants nor were they part of the scientific team at the Alpine Children’s Hospital Davos. Further, the original scientific team was never informed that their study has been submitted for publication. Since the authors were only marginally involved in the study they published, we feel obliged to clarify relevant inaccuracies relating to the methods and their consequence on the data and the clinical conclusions reported in this paper.
