Two of the most prevalent problems children facing worldwide are injuries and obesity. We conducted a systematic review of published studies that evaluated the effects of obesity on children with traumatic injuries. Six studies published between 2006 and 2014 were identified, comprising a total of 4594 children: 867 were obese and 3727 were not. Obese children were 25% more likely to have extremity fractures than nonobese children (p = 0.003), and their mortality rate was significantly higher at 4.7% versus 2.8% (p = 0.026).
Our review showed that obese children were more likely to have extremity fractures and die of traumatic injuries than nonobese children.
全世界儿童面临的两个最普遍问题是受伤和肥胖。我们对已发表的评估肥胖对创伤性损伤儿童影响的研究进行了系统综述。确定了2006年至2014年期间发表的六项研究,共涉及4594名儿童:867名肥胖儿童和3727名非肥胖儿童。肥胖儿童发生四肢骨折的可能性比非肥胖儿童高25%(p = 0.003),其死亡率显著更高,分别为4.7%和2.8%(p = 0.026)。
我们的综述表明,肥胖儿童比非肥胖儿童更易发生四肢骨折并死于创伤性损伤。
