摘要

儿童肥胖是一个重要的全球性公共健康问题，影响到包括亚洲在内的越来越多的中低收入国家。快速的营养和体育活动的过渡，即更多的高能量密度低营养食物的摄入和许多孩子缺乏体力活动为主的生活方式更加助长了肥胖的流行。在发育期，体格测量和体成分测量相结合是定量生长发育速度和质量最好的方法。然而，可用的规范数据通常是在白人儿童中收集的。为了更好地定义和描述亚洲儿童的超重和肥胖，并监测营养和体育活动的干预措施，有必要增加使用标准化的体格测量和身体成分测量方法。本文报告了国际原子能总署（IAEA）的促进措施，并概述了未来亚洲在儿童肥胖的预防和管理方面的研究需求。

Childhood obesity, a significant global public health problem, affects an increasing number of low- and middle-income countries, including in Asia. The obesity epidemic has been fuelled by the rapid nutrition and physical activity transition with the availability of more energy-dense nutrient-poor foods and lifestyles of many children dominated by physical inactivity. During the growing years the pace and quality of grow this best quantified by a combination of anthropometric and body composition measures. However, where normative data are available, this has typically been collected on Caucasian children. To better define and characterise overweight and obesity in Asian children, and to monitor nutrition and physical activity interventions, there is a need to increase the use of standardized anthropometric and body composition methodologies. The current paper reports on initiatives facilitated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and outlines future research needs for the prevention and management of childhood obesity in Asia.
