The aims for this article are to provide an overview of the current state of research on genetic contributions to the development of childhood obesity and to suggest genetic-focused nursing practices to prevent childhood obesity.
Genetic epidemiology of childhood obesity, modes to identifying obesity genes, types of human obesity genes, and nursing implications are discussed.
The successful integration of genetics into nursing practice will provide opportunities for nurses to participate fully as major agents and collaborators in the health care revolution.
Practicing nurses across the profession will need to become knowledgeable about genetics and take part in obesity prevention through genetic assessment of susceptibility and appropriate environmental interventions.
本文旨在概述遗传因素在儿童肥胖症发展中的研究现状,并提出以遗传为重点的护理实践建议,以预防儿童肥胖症。
讨论了儿童肥胖症的遗传流行病学、识别肥胖基因的方法、人类肥胖基因的类型以及护理意义。
将遗传学成功地融入护理实践将为护士提供充分参与医疗保健革命的机会,成为主要的推动者和合作者。
整个护理行业的执业护士都需要了解遗传学知识,并通过对易感性的遗传评估和适当的环境干预来参与肥胖预防。
