The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children has reached a concerning plateau in the past three decades, with overweight or obesity impacting approximately one-third of youth. Unhealthy weight-related behaviors, including dieting, unhealthy weight control practices and binge eating, are also a great public health concern for young people given both their high prevalence and harmful consequences. Food-related parenting practices, including food restriction and pressure-to-eat, have been associated with higher weight status, as well as the use of unhealthy weight-related behaviors, in children and adolescents. Physicians and other health care providers who work with families should discourage parents from using food restriction and pressure-to-eat parenting practices with their child or adolescent. Alternatively, parents should be empowered to promote healthy eating by focusing on making nutritious food items readily available within their home and modeling healthy food choices for their child or adolescent.
在过去三十年里，儿童超重和肥胖的患病率已达到令人担忧的平稳状态，超重或肥胖影响着约三分之一的青少年。与体重相关的不健康行为，包括节食、不健康的体重控制做法和暴饮暴食，因其高患病率和有害后果，也成为年轻人的重大公共卫生问题。与体重相关的育儿做法，包括食物限制和强迫进食，与儿童和青少年较高的体重状况以及使用与体重相关的不健康行为有关。与家庭打交道的医生和其他医疗保健提供者应劝阻父母对其子女或青少年采用食物限制和强迫进食的育儿做法。相反，应赋予父母权力，通过注重在家中随时提供营养丰富的食物，并为其子女或青少年树立健康的食物选择榜样，来促进健康饮食。
