Several studies suggest that the holiday season, starting from the last week of November to the first or second week of January, could be critical to gaining weight. This study aims to review the literature to determine the effects of the holidays on body weight. In studies of adults, a significant weight gain was consistently observed during this period (0.4 to 0.9 kg, < 0.05). The only study in college students found an effect on body fat but not on weight (0.1 kg, = 0.71). The only study found in children did not show an effect on BMI percentile (-0.4%, > 0.05) during this period. Among individuals with obesity who attempt to lose weight, an increase in weight was observed (0.3 to 0.9 kg, significant in some but not in all studies), as well as increase in weight in motivated self-monitoring people (0.4 to 0.6%, < 0.001). Programs focused on self-monitoring during the holidays (phone calls and daily mailing) appeared to prevent weight gain, but information is limited. The holiday season seems to increase body weight in adults, even in participants seeking to lose weight and in motivated self-monitoring people, whereas in children, adolescents, and college students, very few studies were found to make accurate conclusions.
多项研究表明，从11月的最后一周到1月的第一周或第二周的节日季，可能对体重增加至关重要。本研究旨在回顾文献，以确定节日对体重的影响。在针对成年人的研究中，在此期间始终观察到显著的体重增加（0.4至0.9千克，P<0.05）。在大学生中进行的唯一一项研究发现对体脂有影响，但对体重无影响（0.1千克，P = 0.71）。在儿童中进行的唯一一项研究未显示在此期间对BMI百分位数有影响（-0.4%，P>0.05）。在试图减肥的肥胖个体中，观察到体重增加（0.3至0.9千克，在一些但并非所有研究中显著），以及积极自我监测的人群体重增加（0.4至0.6%，P<0.001）。专注于节日期间自我监测的项目（电话和每日邮件）似乎可以防止体重增加，但相关信息有限。节日季似乎会使成年人的体重增加，即使是在寻求减肥的参与者和积极自我监测的人群中也是如此，而对于儿童、青少年和大学生，几乎没有研究能得出准确结论。
