The purpose of this study was to review evidence from the last 5 years (2006-2011) regarding a relationship between sleep duration and childhood overweight/obesity.
Among the 25 studies selected from PubMed and Web of Knowledge databases, all indicated significant associations between short sleep duration and childhood overweight/obesity. Studies explored a range of pediatric populations, methodologies, and potential contributing factors.
Childhood sleep duration may be a modifiable risk factor in preventing obesity. In addition to identifying and assessing patients' sleep habits, nurses play important roles as educators regarding the importance of adequate sleep and promoting it in children.
本研究旨在回顾过去5年(2006 - 2011年)中关于睡眠时间与儿童超重/肥胖之间关系的证据。
在从PubMed和Web of Knowledge数据库中筛选出的25项研究中,所有研究均表明睡眠时间短与儿童超重/肥胖之间存在显著关联。这些研究涵盖了一系列儿科人群、方法以及潜在的影响因素。
儿童睡眠时间可能是预防肥胖的一个可改变的风险因素。除了识别和评估患者的睡眠习惯外,护士作为教育者在告知充足睡眠的重要性以及在儿童中促进充足睡眠方面发挥着重要作用。
