Contributors to excessive obesity in rural youth include well-documented nutrition and physical activity behaviors. However, emerging research suggests that preventing excessive weight gain and smoking during pregnancy, teen pregnancy, and child abuse also could reduce obesity in this vulnerable population. These traditional and emerging, nontraditional factors need to be addressed within the confines of current challenges faced by rural communities. An enhanced ecological model provides a framework for combining traditional and nontraditional factors into a more comprehensive approach that addresses the complexity of the issues contributing to youth obesity.
导致农村青少年肥胖的因素包括有据可查的营养和身体活动行为。然而，新的研究表明，预防怀孕期间体重过度增加和吸烟、青少年怀孕和儿童虐待也可以减少这一脆弱人群的肥胖。这些传统和新兴的、非传统的因素需要在农村社区目前面临的挑战范围内加以解决。一个强化的生态模型为将传统和非传统因素结合起来提供了一个框架，形成一种更全面的方法，以解决导致青少年肥胖的各种复杂问题。
