As the prevalence of obesity increases in children and adults from the United States and around the world, the interest in prevention is also increasing. For obesity prevention to have a chance to be successful, it should be based on evidences of risk factors rather than on empiric interventions. Selected risk factors for obesity present during adolescence are reviewed, such as television viewing, consumption of sugar-containing beverages, familial and socioeconomic environment, and recent changes in US society. The International Obesity Task Force's conceptual framework of environmental factors in the development of obesity is presented, as well as practical implications for obesity prevention and treatment in adolescence.
随着美国及全球儿童和成人肥胖患病率的上升，对预防的关注度也在增加。为了使肥胖预防有机会取得成功，应基于风险因素的证据而非经验性干预措施。本文回顾了青春期出现的一些肥胖相关风险因素，如看电视、饮用含糖饮料、家庭和社会经济环境以及美国社会最近的变化。介绍了国际肥胖特别工作组关于肥胖发展中环境因素的概念框架，以及对青春期肥胖预防和治疗的实际意义。
