The present article is intended to review the recent literature on three topics that are very important in pediatric office practice: hyperlipidemia, eating disorders, and smoking cessation. Review of the current literature will help pediatricians understand current data on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of hyperlipidemia in childhood and adolescence. This article also provides practitioners with a summary of the most current literature on identifying the characteristics and risk factors of pediatric patients with eating disorders. The article concludes with a summary of recent literature on smoking prevention and cessation methods.
The current literature shows that practitioners must be more aggressive in screening patients for hyperlipidemia. Education regarding the prevention of hyperlipidemia is also essential. Recent work has further identified the characteristics and risk factors of patients with eating disorders. Further, recent literature has studied innovative tools that can be employed by patients interested in smoking cessation.
Hyperlipidemia, eating disorders, and smoking are three extremely important problems that negatively impact the lives of children and adolescents. Pediatricians should regularly screen their patients for hyperlipidemia and eating disorders. Practitioners should assist their pediatric patients with the process of smoking cessation.
本文旨在综述近期在儿科门诊实践中非常重要的三个主题的文献：高脂血症、饮食失调和戒烟。回顾当前文献将有助于儿科医生了解有关儿童和青少年高脂血症病理生理学、诊断和治疗的现有数据。本文还为从业者提供了有关识别患有饮食失调的儿科患者特征和风险因素的最新文献总结。文章最后总结了近期有关吸烟预防和戒烟方法的文献。
当前文献表明，从业者在筛查患者高脂血症方面必须更加积极主动。关于高脂血症预防的教育也至关重要。最近的研究进一步确定了饮食失调患者的特征和风险因素。此外，近期文献研究了有戒烟意愿的患者可以采用的创新工具。
高脂血症、饮食失调和吸烟是对儿童和青少年生活产生负面影响的三个极其重要的问题。儿科医生应定期为患者筛查高脂血症和饮食失调。从业者应协助儿科患者进行戒烟。
