促进儿童肥胖的预防性干预研究

Promoting preventive intervention studies for childhood obesity

儿童肥胖是亟需解决的重要公共卫生问题。尽管儿童肥胖的预防性干预研究取得了一定进展,但在家长参与和干预保真度等方面仍具有挑战。倡导今后开展学龄前甚至孕前干预研究,研发适用于不同地区、在大规模人群中行之有效的干预模式,同时从基因、心理和行为等多个角度系统地分析儿童肥胖的影响因素,为开展针对儿童特点的个性化肥胖干预和精准防控策略提供参考。

Childhood obesity is a serious public health issue that needs to be urgently tackled. Although studies in preventive intervention for childhood obesity have made some progress, challenges remain in terms of parental engagement and intervention fidelity. This editorial calls for more obesity intervention studies at the preschool or even the preconception stage, develops intervention models that are applicable in distinct regions and are effective in large populations, and systematically reviews associated factors of childhood obesity from genetical, psychological, and behavioral perspectives. It provides insights for personalized preventive interventions for childhood obesity based on individual characteristics.
