Human beings encountered malnutrition during the twentieth century and obesity in the very next century. This is how the future will look when the present becomes a slice of history. Obesity is threatening the healthy being of many youngsters throughout the world. Environmental influences have indicated to effect even genetically safe subjects among which parental neglect seems to be most alarming. Two extensively and globally investigated variables, the feeding style and the physical activity, provide some hope in its prevention. Despite the high rise of obesity prevalence in Saudi Arabia, there is scant research on these topics. The purpose of this review is to present a comprehensive assessment of these 2-obesity associated parental variables. The composed literature could provide an insight to the dominant surge of obesity in the Arab nations and stimulate research on current parenting practices in the Kingdom.
人类在二十世纪遭遇营养不良，而在下一个世纪则遭遇肥胖。当现在成为历史的一部分时，未来就是这个样子。肥胖正在威胁着全世界许多年轻人的健康。环境影响表明，即使是在基因上安全的人群中，也会产生影响，其中父母忽视似乎最为令人担忧。两种广泛而全球性的研究变量，即喂养方式和身体活动，为预防肥胖提供了一些希望。尽管肥胖症在沙特阿拉伯的患病率急剧上升，但针对这些主题的研究却很少。本综述的目的是对这两个与肥胖相关的父母变量进行全面评估。综合文献可以深入了解阿拉伯国家肥胖症的主流趋势，并激发对王国当前养育方式的研究。
