Obesity in children is a critical public health issue in developed countries and developing countries. The establishment of health-related behaviors in childhood, significantly influenced by parental involvement, underscores the need for effective intervention measures.
This original research is a systematic review and meta-analysis that aimed to investigate the impact of parental involvement on the prevention and management of childhood obesity, focusing on outcomes such as BMI z-score, exercise levels, screen time, dietary self-efficacy, and percentage body fat.
Adhering to the PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) identified through comprehensive searches of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, including RCTs involving children aged 2-18 years with parental or caregiver participation, reporting on the specified outcomes. Data analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3, employing a random effects model.
A total of 5573 participants were included. The meta-analysis revealed a significant reduction in BMI z-score (MD = -0.06, 95% CI: -0.09 to -0.02, = 0.005, I = 58%), a non-significant increase in exercise levels (SMD = 0.26, 95% CI: -0.01 to 0.52, = 0.05, I = 52%), and a significant reduction in screen time (MD = -0.36 h per day, 95% CI: -0.61 to -0.11, = 0.005, I = 0%). Dietary self-efficacy also improved significantly (MD = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.12 to 1.05, = 0.01, I = 0%). However, changes in percentage body fat did not reach statistical significance (MD = -1.19%, 95% CI: -2.8% to 0.41%, = 0.15, I = 0%).
Parental involvement in childhood obesity interventions significantly impacts BMI z-score, exercise levels, screen time, and dietary self-efficacy but not percentage body fat. These findings highlight the importance of engaging parents in obesity prevention and management strategies.
儿童肥胖是发达国家和发展中国家的一个关键公共卫生问题。儿童时期健康相关行为的养成受父母参与的显著影响，这凸显了采取有效干预措施的必要性。
这项原创性研究是一项系统评价和荟萃分析，旨在调查父母参与对儿童肥胖预防和管理的影响，重点关注体重指数（BMI）z评分、运动水平、屏幕使用时间、饮食自我效能感和体脂百分比等结果。
遵循PRISMA指南，我们对通过全面检索PubMed、Scopus、科学网和考克兰图书馆确定的12项随机对照试验（RCT）进行了系统评价和荟萃分析，这些试验包括有父母或照顾者参与的、涉及2至18岁儿童的RCT，并报告了指定的结果。使用RevMan 5.3进行数据分析，采用随机效应模型。
共纳入5573名参与者。荟萃分析显示BMI z评分显著降低（MD = -0.06，95%CI：-0.09至-0.02，P = 0.005，I² = 58%），运动水平有不显著的增加（SMD = 0.26，95%CI：-0.01至0.52，P = 0.05，I² = 52%），屏幕使用时间显著减少（MD = 每天-0.36小时，95%CI：-0.61至-0.11，P = 0.005，I² = 0%）。饮食自我效能感也有显著改善（MD = 0.59，95%CI：0.12至1.05，P = 0.01，I² = 0%）。然而，体脂百分比的变化未达到统计学显著性（MD = -1.19%，95%CI：-2.8%至0.41%，P = 0.15，I² = 0%）。
父母参与儿童肥胖干预对BMI z评分、运动水平、屏幕使用时间和饮食自我效能感有显著影响，但对体脂百分比没有影响。这些发现突出了让父母参与肥胖预防和管理策略的重要性。
