The role of portion control plates in achieving healthy diets is unclear. The aim of this scoping review was to systematically map findings from peer reviewed and grey literature to provide evidence for the use of portion control plates to promote healthy eating and nutrition-related knowledge in children and adults. A secondary aim was to review the design characteristics of portion control plates. The search was conducted in four databases, including Medline, CINAHL, Embase, and PsycInfo, and grey literature sources following the PRISMA scoping review guidelines. A total of 22 articles comprising 23 intervention studies and 8 from grey literature were included. It was found that the various two-dimensional and three-dimensional portion control plates examined were effective tools for better portion size selection in healthy children and adults. Most portion control plates dedicated half the plate to vegetables, a quarter to protein, and a quarter to carbohydrates. The use of portion control plates in nutrition interventions appears to promote weight loss among those with overweight and obesity and/or type 2 diabetes. However, portion control plates were mostly used as part of multicomponent interventions and the effectiveness of the portion control plate as a stand-alone educational resource or portion control tool alone was uncertain. Further interventional research is indicated to investigate portion plates as tools to improve dietary behaviours and food consumption at the population level.
在实现健康饮食方面，份量控制盘的作用尚不清楚。本范围综述的目的是系统地梳理同行评议和灰色文献中的研究结果，为使用份量控制盘促进儿童和成人的健康饮食和营养知识提供证据。次要目的是审查份量控制盘的设计特点。该检索在四个数据库中进行，包括 Medline、CINAHL、Embase 和 PsycInfo，以及遵循 PRISMA 范围综述指南的灰色文献来源。共纳入了 22 篇文章，包括 23 项干预研究和 8 篇灰色文献。结果发现，经过检验的各种二维和三维份量控制盘是帮助健康儿童和成人更好地选择份量的有效工具。大多数份量控制盘将餐盘的一半用于蔬菜，四分之一用于蛋白质，四分之一用于碳水化合物。在营养干预中使用份量控制盘似乎可以促进超重和肥胖以及/或 2 型糖尿病患者的体重减轻。然而，份量控制盘大多是作为多组分干预的一部分使用的，作为独立的教育资源或份量控制工具的份量控制盘的有效性尚不确定。需要进一步的干预研究来调查份量盘作为改善人群层面饮食行为和食物消费的工具。
