关于儿童和青少年肥胖的文献是巨大的。除了产生一个一般性的概述，本文旨在突出性别差异或相似之处，这一领域往往不是本文献的主要重点。使用"肥胖"和"儿童"、"肥胖"、"青少年"、"青年"、"年轻人"、"性"、"性别"、"男性"、"女性"、"男性"、"女性"、"男孩"和"女孩"（或这些术语的变体）检索数据库。为了限制潜在的文献，主要关注其他综述，包括一般性综述和与肥胖症特定方面相关的综述。遗传研究的结果对于男性和女性是相似的，并且由体重指数定义的肥胖率的差异通常很小并且不一致。然而，由于生物学的原因，男性和女性之间的差异在身体脂肪的模式、健康风险变得明显的脂肪水平、休息时能量消耗和能量需求的水平、从事某些体力活动的能力以及肥胖对女性生殖系统的后果方面是明显的。由于社会或文化的差异包括食物选择和饮食问题，整体身体活动水平，身体满意度以及儿童和青少年肥胖的长期心理社会后果。这篇评论表明，男性和女性之间的差异暴露和易患肥胖的环境，儿童和青少年肥胖的后果，以及对干预措施的条件。这一领域的研究人员和决策者都需要更加明确地关注性别差异。
The literature on childhood and adolescent obesity is vast. In addition to producing a general overview, this paper aims to highlight gender differences or similarities, an area which has tended not to be the principal focus of this literature. Databases were searched using the terms 'obesity' and 'child', 'adolescent', 'teenager', 'youth', 'young people', 'sex', 'gender', 'masculine', 'feminine', 'male', 'female', 'boy' and 'girl' (or variations on these terms). In order to limit the potential literature, the main focus is on other reviews, both general and relating to specific aspects of obesity. The findings of genetic studies are similar for males and females, and differences in obesity rates as defined by body mass index are generally small and inconsistent. However, differences between males and females due to biology are evident in the patterning of body fat, the fat levels at which health risks become apparent, levels of resting energy expenditure and energy requirements, ability to engage in certain physical activities and the consequences of obesity for the female reproductive system. Differences due to society or culture include food choices and dietary concerns, overall physical activity levels, body satisfaction and the long-term psychosocial consequences of childhood and adolescent obesity. This review suggests differences between males and females in exposure and vulnerability to obesogenic environments, the consequences of child and adolescent obesity, and responses to interventions for the condition. A clearer focus on gender differences is required among both researchers and policy makers within this field.
