Despite being the focus of widespread public health efforts, childhood obesity remains an epidemic worldwide. Given the now well-documented consequences of obesity for childhood health and psychosocial functioning, as well as associated morbidity in adulthood, identifying novel, modifiable behaviors that can be targeted to improve weight control is imperative. Enhancing children's sleep may show promise in assisting with weight regulation. The present paper describes the development of a brief behavioral sleep intervention for school-aged children, including preliminary findings of this work as well as areas for future study.
尽管儿童肥胖一直是广泛公共卫生努力的重点，但它在全球范围内仍是一种流行病。鉴于目前已有充分记录的肥胖对儿童健康和心理社会功能的影响，以及成年期相关的发病率，确定可以针对改善体重控制的新的、可改变的行为势在必行。增加儿童睡眠可能有望有助于体重调节。本文描述了一种针对学龄儿童的简短行为睡眠干预措施的开发，包括这项工作的初步结果以及未来研究的领域。
