The recent epidemic of childhood obesity(1) has raised concern because of the possible clinical and public health consequences.(2,)(3) However, there remains a widespread perception among health professionals that childhood obesity is a largely cosmetic problem, with minor clinical effects. No systematic review has yet focused on the diverse array of possible consequences of childhood obesity, though older non-systematic reviews are available.(4,)(5) In addition, no review to date has considered the vast body of evidence on the health impact of childhood obesity which has been published recently. The aim of the present review was therefore to provide a critically appraised, evidence based, summary of the consequences of childhood obesity in the short term (for the child) and longer term (in adulthood).
近期儿童肥胖症的流行引发了人们的关注,因为它可能带来临床和公共卫生方面的后果。然而,卫生专业人员中仍普遍认为儿童肥胖症主要是一个外观问题,临床影响较小。尽管有一些较早的非系统性综述,但尚未有系统性综述聚焦于儿童肥胖症可能产生的各种后果。此外,迄今为止,尚无综述考虑到最近发表的关于儿童肥胖症对健康影响的大量证据。因此,本综述的目的是对儿童肥胖症在短期(对儿童而言)和长期(成年后)产生的后果进行严格评估,并基于证据进行总结。
