Several conclusions can be drawn on the basis of the research reviewed: Obese children are more likely to become obese adults than are their thinner peers. Parent weight may interact with child weight status in the etiology of adult obesity. Obese children with obese parents are more likely to become obese adults than are obese children with thin parents. The prediction of adult obesity from childhood obesity improves with the age of the child. As the obese child gets older, he or she is more likely to become an obese adult. The inclusion of parents in the treatment process is important for the success of childhood weight control. It may be best to see the parent and child separately in treatment meetings rather than together. Children with thin parents may do better in weight control than children of obese parents. Adherence to exercise is likely to be a problem with obese children, and the choice or design of an exercise program should take these adherence problems into account. Nutritional adequacy of the child's diet should be evaluated both in terms of what the child is eating as well as in terms of the prescribed diet. Likewise, growth of the obese child during dieting should be monitored and should be related to expected height, which can be based on parent height. In summary, childhood obesity is a problem that places a child at great risk for becoming an obese adult. However, a growing body of research has emerged that has identified important risk factors for the development of obesity in children. Likewise, treatment methods have been developed that produce significant and long-lasting effects on childhood weight status. Continued development of treatment methods would be of great potential importance in the prevention and treatment of this prevalent problem. 相似文献

Given the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity, effective and cost-efficient strategies to enhance children's physical activity levels are needed. Unfortunately, exercise interventions evaluated to date have had little impact on overweight and obesity in youth. Physical activity counseling interventions have emerged as an effective and inexpensive alternative to traditional, structured exercise programs in adults, and may be an interesting option for the treatment of obesity in youth. 相似文献

Rates of childhood obesity are increasing at alarming rates worldwide. This is especially alarming as obesity is associated with many physical and psychological consequences. A great number of studies indicate that obese children have an impaired psychological well-being (e.g., depression, self-esteem, and quality of life) compared to their non-overweight peers. There has been an overwhelming amount of research conducted in this area over the past few decades, and as such, this paper provides a summarized overview of the vast trove of available information on the psychosocial aspects of childhood obesity. In this paper we provide a summarized overview of: 1) psychosocial aspects that contribute to the onset of childhood obesity; 2) psychosocial consequences of childhood obesity; and 3) familial-based lifestyle behavior modification interventions for treating childhood obesity and its treatment success. Although it seems obvious that obese children and adolescents would likely be at higher risk for psychological problems, the mediating factors in the relationship between psychological problems and obesity are still not well established. Obesity is a complex disorder with an equally complex etiology, and is thus associated with complex behaviors and outcomes that make it difficult to study in children. It has been indicated that family-based lifestyle interventions can improve psychological well-being in obese children; however, not all children profit from these interventions. Interventions aimed at improving treatment results need further investigation. For example, interventions targeted specifically at groups that tend to be less successful in weight-loss programs and interventions providing long-term support to these individuals are recommended. 相似文献

The recent "obesity epidemic" among children and adolescents is a major public health concern. The mechanisms responsible for the increased incidence of childhood obesity are not yet well understood. The absence of a clear mechanism makes treating the obese child or adolescent a difficult task, and standardized therapeutic approaches simply do not yet exist. Metabolic derangements associated with obesity may contribute to the difficulty in treatment. Observed abnormalities in the growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) axis in obese adults and the impact of exercise on the GH-IGF-I system are of particular relevance to the growing obese child. In this review, we focus on the interacting mechanisms of diet and exercise through specific hormonal mediators and their contribution to the current obesity epidemic. An improved understanding of these mechanisms may be helpful in creating effective treatment programs for children with obesity. 相似文献

Early childhood overweight and obesity have alarmingly increased over the years. Adulthood obesity is a well demonstrated significant independent predictor of cardiovascular risk (CVR) and/or mortality, which predisposes to the major components of metabolic syndrome (MS). Evidence of MS in obese children has been also reported associated with biochemical and inflammatory factors that affect vascular physiologic function. Assessment of vascular function can be measured noninvasively in children allowing early detection of endothelial dysfunction and severe increase of arterial stiffness before clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis. Impairment of endothelial function related to the severity of obesity and to the degree of insulin resistance is considered as a condition that confers a premature atherogenicity status and is linked to adult conventional cardiovascular risk factors. Adipose tissue factors that interfere with insulin action and endothelial cell function have also been identified as major precursors of CVR factors. The metabolic and cardiovascular consequences of childhood obesity are well demonstrated and have a major impact on the development of atherosclerosis and lifetime CVR. The development of programs involving both diet and exercise for children with overt overweight/obesity appears to be essential to improve vascular function and metabolic disorders. Such interventions should be complemented by a primary prevention against childhood obesity. 相似文献

Role of the physician and physical education teacher in the treatment of obesity at school 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Obesity ranks as a leading chronic pediatric disorder, with estimates ranging from 10 to 25% of the childhood and adolescent population. Physical hypoactivity is prevalent among obese youth and may be an etiological factor. Physical training, with or without nutritional intervention, has been found effective for weight and body fat control. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role that the physician and physical education teacher can play in the treatment of obesity at school. Studies of school-based intervention programs utilizing exercise, nutrition and behavior modification are reviewed. Suggestions are outlined for school-based obesity programs. 相似文献

Childhood obesity is an increasing health problem in the United States, and it is positively correlated with eventual adult obesity. Childhood obesity is related to many of the same risk factors as adult obesity, most notably cardiovascular and psychosocial factors. Prevention or detection and management of the problem in childhood is warranted. This article describes assessment of obesity, predictors for its development, and components of treatment programs that are successful in children. Information is based on review of the literature and the author's experience working with obese children in a pediatric practice. 相似文献

With the rising prevalence of childhood obesity, pediatricians are increasingly called upon to treat clinically overweight children. The primary treatment options are behavioral lifestyle modification, pharmacotherapy, and surgery. The cornerstone of childhood obesity treatment is lifestyle modification and has been shown to be effective in improving the severity of overweight and obesity. Several guidelines discuss appropriate methods for lifestyle modification in overweight and obese children. This review will summarize three recent guidelines/recommendations (released by the Scottish Intercollegiate Network, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the United Kingdom National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) and describe by way of example, a current child obesity treatment program in the United States (Duke University Medical Center). Finally, evidence for pharmacologic and surgical treatment options will also be discussed, which can be valuable treatment options for select patients. 相似文献

Background
The efficacy of pharmacological treatment in controlling childhood obesity is controversial. We aimed to compare the effects of three types of drug regimens and placebo on generalized and abdominal obesity among obese children and adolescents who did not succeed to lose weight 3 months after lifestyle modification (diet and exercise). 相似文献10.
Childhood obesity has been recognized as a global pandemic. Preventive strategies have proven to be the most effective public health intervention in curbing this pandemic. A multi-component approach involving dietary modification and advocacy for a healthy lifestyle comprising of regular physical activity, minimizing screen time and behavioral interventions have been found beneficial in preventing obesity. A life-cycle approach has been recommended where preventive interventions go as far back as affecting maternal, fetal and early childhood nutrition and lifestyle. Family, school and community involvement is important for long term results, so is the involvement of government in developing policies that help create an environment and opportunities for healthy diet and physical activity. Management of childhood obesity is challenging. It involves following a structured weight reduction programme individualized for every child, along with adoption of a healthy diet and life style. Anti-obesity drugs have a limited role in childhood years and are not recommended in younger children. Bariatric surgery is reserved for morbidly obese older adolescents but its long term safety data is limited in this age group. 相似文献

The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined by coincidence of the risk factors visceral obesity, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance and possibly disturbed glucose regulation. MetS is the driving force for the development of cardiovascular diseases and adult-onset diabetes already in childhood. There is a clear genetic predisposition. The symptoms are aggravated by energy-dense food and physical inactivity. Central pathogenetic findings associated with the MetS are insulin resistance in different cell systems as well as chronic inflammation of the fat tissue. The prevalence of the MetS in industrial nations is about 0.1%/5?C8%/20?C35% in normal-weight/overweight/obese children and adolescents. There is no causal therapy of the MetS. A therapeutic approach is the modification of the nutrition and exercise behaviour. The medical therapy directly aims at the treatment of the individual risk factors. Behaviour-based preventive measures in day care and schools with involvement of the parents can contribute to the prevention of the MetS. 相似文献

The prevalence of children and adolescents with body mass index (BMI) of greater than 95th percentile has doubled in the last 2 decades (present prevalence is 10.9%) and there is a 50% increase in the prevalence of those with a BMI greater than 85th percentile (present prevalence is 22.0%) in the US. There are substantial risks for morbidity in obese children even before they reach adulthood. Further, if obesity in childhood persists into the adult years, the morbidity and mortality is greater than if the obesity developed in the adult. Screening using appropriate historical and physical data will reveal those children most in need of modification of weight gain. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to record the prevalence of underweight, overweight and obesity in primary school children living in Istanbul and to examine the relationship between increased body weight and certain cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. METHODS: A total of 510 randomly selected children aged 12 and 13 years of age (257 boys, 253 girls) were examined. Information regarding anthropometrical indices, energy and macronutrient intake, physical activity, physical fitness and lipid profile were collected. Classification of children in overweight and obese subgroups was based on the cut-off points proposed by Cole et al. RESULTS: The prevalence of underweight, overweight and obesity was found to be 15.3%, 10.6% and 1.6%, respectively. Both overweight boys and girls were found to have lower physical fitness compared to their normal-weight counterparts, but no difference was observed for energy and macronutrient intake. Overweight boys were found to have higher total cholesterol (P < 0.001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P < 0.01), triglycerides (P < 0.01) and total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (P < 0.05) compared to their normal-weight counterparts, while overweight girls were found to have lower HDL-C (P < 0.05) compared to their normal-weight peers. CONCLUSIONS: Underweight and overweight coexisted in the current population. Increased body weight was accompanied by unfavorable lipid profiles and lower fitness levels. Consequently, there is an emergent need for early identification and understanding of behavioral and physiological variables related to obesity and CVD, so that appropriate interventions can be targeted to children who are at risk for adult onset of these diseases. 相似文献

Childhood obesity monitoring is a fundamental component of obesity prevention but is poorly done in Australia. Monitoring obesity prevalence in children provides important population health data that can be used to track trends over time, identify areas at greatest risk of obesity, determine the effectiveness of interventions and policies, raise awareness and stimulate action. High participation rates are essential for effective monitoring because these provide more representative data. Passive ('opt-out') consent has been shown to provide high participation rates in international childhood obesity monitoring programs and in a recent Australian federal initiative monitoring early child development. A federal initiative structured like existing child development monitoring programs, but with the authority to collect height and weight measurements using opt-out consent, is recommended to monitor rates of childhood obesity in Australia. 相似文献

Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions in many parts of the world. This epidemic has also affected children and adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). Over one quarter of children with CHD are overweight or obese. Important comorbidities are associated with obesity including type 2 diabetes, systemic hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obstructive sleep apnea. Obese children with CHD often have the traditional risk factors such as genetic predisposition, sedentary lifestyle, and poor dietary habits. However, they may also have unique risk factors such as higher caloric needs in early infancy and exercise restriction in childhood. Similar to children with normal hearts, those with CHD have higher left ventricular mass and abnormal vascular function and are more likely to have systemic hypertension. In the long term, these comorbidities may have a more profound effect on children who have underlying functional and/or anatomical abnormalities of the heart. As more children with CHD are now surviving into adulthood, investigating therapeutic interventions to treat and prevent obesity in this population is of utmost importance. Recommendations for safe physical activity, recreation sport, and exercise training for children with CHD have recently been published. These guidelines may help health care providers to change their practice of exercise restriction. 相似文献

As the prevalence of childhood obesity increases, exercise testing of obese children is likely to increase as well. This
article discusses the implications of pediatric obesity for exercise testing and provides some recommendations for conducting
tests and evaluating results. Studies comparing obese and nonobese children during exercise testing indicate that obese children
are capable of meeting the challenges of exercise testing to nearly the same extent as their nonobese peers. Their physiologic
responses, at least for the levels of obesity reported in the literature, are not sufficiently different from their nonobese
counterparts to necessitate major changes in test protocols. Laboratory staff should pay special attention to fostering confidence
in the obese child during the pretest routine. 相似文献

Obese children and adolescents have unique needs for specialized medical equipment while hospitalized and might require special diets and physical activity options as part of their medical treatment. It is important that patients with a diagnosis of obesity be identified on admission so that appropriate equipment and resources can be provided. We examined what components a healthy hospital environment should include and sought to determine if children's hospitals provide a healthy hospital environment that offers these components. In addition, we sought to determine if children's hospitals have policies in place to identify children with obesity so that appropriate resources and services can be offered to treat that diagnosis. We surveyed National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions member hospitals via a Web-based questionnaire and found that the majority of them do not have policies in place to identify patients with obesity. We did find that the majority of hospitals reported innovative programs or services to provide a healthy hospital environment for their patients, visitors, and staff but acknowledged limitations in providing some services. Specifically, children's hospitals can and should improve on their identification and management of obese pediatric patients. 相似文献

Caprio S 《The Future of children / Center for the Future of Children, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation》2006,16(1):209-224
With American children on course to grow into the most obese generation of adults in history, Sonia Caprio argues that it is critical to develop more effective strategies for preventing childhood obesity and treating serious obesity-related health complications. She notes that although pediatricians are concerned about the obesity problem, most are ineffective in addressing it. Treatment should begin, Caprio explains, with a thorough medical exam, an assessment of nutrition and physical activity, an appraisal of the degree of obesity and associated health complications, a family history, and full information about current medications. Caprio also summarizes the current use of medications and surgery in treating child obesity and argues, that for severe forms of obesity, the future lies in developing new and more effective drugs. Caprio explains that today's most effective obesity treatment programs have been carried out in academic centers through an approach that combines a dietary component, behavioral modification, physical activity, and parental involvement. Such programs, however, have yet to be translated to primary pediatric care centers. Successfully treating obesity, she argues, will require a major shift in pediatric care that builds on the findings of these academic centers regarding structured intervention programs. To ensure that pediatricians are well trained in implementing such programs, the American Medical Association is working with federal agencies, medical specialty societies, and public health organizations to teach doctors how to prevent and manage obesity in both children and adults. Such training should be a part of undergraduate and graduate medical education and of continuing medical education programs. Caprio also addresses the problem of reimbursement for obesity treatment. Despite the health risks of obesity, patients get little support from health insurers, thus putting long-term weight-management programs beyond the reach of most. Caprio argues that obesity should be recognized as a disease and receive coverage for its treatment just as other diseases do. 相似文献

儿童单纯性肥胖的诊断和治疗 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
关于肥胖的诊断国内外并尚无统一的判断标准,WHO认为10岁以下和10岁以上应有不同的评价标准,推荐10岁以下儿童使用身高别体质量,10~24岁采用体质量指数(BMI),国际肥胖问题工作组织(IOTF)认为BMI适宜用来判断儿童青少年超重和肥胖。WHO和IOTF提出的18岁BMI超重、肥胖标准完全一样,分别为25和30kg/m^2,而中国肥胖问题工作组(WGOC)制定的标准较比前二者低,18岁BMI超重和肥胖界值点分别为24和28kg/m^2。儿童肥胖的治疗不同于成人,成人期可使用的手术去脂、药物减肥、饥饿疗法、禁食等,在儿童时期均不宜使用。目前国内外公认儿童肥胖治疗方法包括行为矫正、饮食调整和运动等综合治疗方案。 相似文献
