The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of childhood obesity interventions among Hispanic children in the United States. An electronic search was conducted to identify articles published in the PubMED, CINAHL and EBSCO databases. Keyword that used included "Latino", "Hispanic", "childhood", "obesity", "interventions". The inclusion criteria were: published in English from January 2001 to January 2012, studies equal or longer than 6 months of follow-up, Hispanic children and obesity prevention studies (RCT or Quasi-experimental studies). We found 10 studies for inclusion in this review, seven RCT and three Quasi-experimental studies, published from 2005 to January 2012. Overall, improvements in BMI and z-BMI across studies were inconsistent. Only two studies had a follow-up of 3 years, and the most recent study showed an increase in the proportion of children classified as obese. The overall quality rate of evidence with respect to reducing BMI or the prevalence of childhood obesity was low.
本研究的目的是对美国西班牙裔儿童的肥胖干预措施进行系统综述。通过电子检索在PubMed、CINAHL和EBSCO数据库中查找已发表的文章。使用的关键词包括“拉丁裔”“西班牙裔”“儿童”“肥胖”“干预措施”。纳入标准为：2001年1月至2012年1月以英文发表，随访时间等于或长于6个月的研究，西班牙裔儿童以及肥胖预防研究（随机对照试验或准实验研究）。我们发现有10项研究可纳入本综述，其中7项随机对照试验和3项准实验研究，发表时间为2005年至2012年1月。总体而言，各研究中体重指数（BMI）和z - BMI的改善情况并不一致。只有两项研究的随访时间为3年，且最近的一项研究显示，被归类为肥胖的儿童比例有所增加。关于降低BMI或儿童肥胖患病率的证据总体质量较低。
