BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: The Food and Nutrition stream of Australasian Child and Adolescent Obesity Research Network (ACAORN) aims to improve the quality of dietary methodologies and the reporting of dietary intake within Australasian child obesity research (http://www.acaorn.org.au/streams/nutrition/).
METHODS/RESULTS: With 2012 marking ACAORN's 10th anniversary, this commentary profiles a selection of child obesity nutrition research published over the last decade by Food and Nutrition Stream members. In addition, stream activities have included the development of an online selection guide to assist researchers in their selection of appropriate dietary intake methodologies (http://www.acaorn.org.au/streams/nutrition/dietary-intake/index.php).
The quantity and quality of research to guide effective child obesity prevention and treatment has increased substantially over the last decade. ACAORN provides a successful case study of how research networks can provide a collegial atmosphere to foster and coordinate research efforts in an otherwise competitive environment.
背景/目标:澳大拉西亚儿童与青少年肥胖研究网络(ACAORN)的食品与营养板块旨在提高澳大拉西亚儿童肥胖研究中饮食方法的质量以及饮食摄入量的报告质量(http://www.acaorn.org.au/streams/nutrition/)。
方法/结果:2012年是ACAORN成立10周年,本评论介绍了食品与营养板块成员在过去十年发表的一系列儿童肥胖营养研究。此外,该板块的活动还包括开发一个在线选择指南,以帮助研究人员选择合适的饮食摄入量方法(http://www.acaorn.org.au/streams/nutrition/dietary-intake/index.php)。
在过去十年中,指导有效预防和治疗儿童肥胖的研究数量和质量都有了显著提高。ACAORN提供了一个成功的案例研究,展示了研究网络如何在竞争激烈的环境中营造合作氛围,以促进和协调研究工作。
