肥胖已经被WHO定义为全球范围内的流行病,正在成为影响人类健康、生存质量,甚至缩短预期寿命的最重要的慢性疾病。20世纪90年代以来,我国儿童肥胖发生率以惊人的速度上升,其增长速率远远高于成人肥胖发生率的上升速度。儿童期肥胖不仅形成对远期健康的威胁,同时对儿童期身体发育形态、生理功能和运动能力均造成损伤,已经成为影响儿童健康的重要的公共卫生问题。 Obesity, already defined by WHO as a global epidemic, is becoming the most important chronic disease affecting human health, quality of life and even shortening life expectancy. Since the 1990s, the incidence of childhood obesity in our country has risen at an alarming rate, and the growth rate is far higher than the rate of adult obesity. Childhood obesity not only poses a threat to long-term health, but also damages the physical development pattern, physiological function and motor ability during childhood. It has become an important public health problem affecting children’s health.
