本综述的目的是系统地评估美国移民人群从学龄前到成年的整个生命过程中肥胖预防和控制干预措施的有效性。对相关研究进行了系统综述，纳入了符合条件的文章。初步检索识别出684篇潜在相关文章，其中只有20篇文章符合选择标准，代表20项独特研究。它们分为针对成人的干预措施（n=7），针对儿童的干预措施（n=5）和试点研究（n=8）。大多数干预措施针对拉丁美洲人，主要是墨西哥裔人口。在针对成年人的干预措施中，有五项对肥胖相关结果产生了影响。然而，他们倾向于使用不太严格的研究设计。在针对儿童的干预措施中，有三项对肥胖相关结果产生了积极影响。八项试点研究中有三项对肥胖相关结果产生了影响。关于有效干预措施的数据很少，但非常需要解决肥胖预防问题，以帮助制定健康政策和计划，减少与移民有关的肥胖不平等。
The aim of this review was to systematically assess the effectiveness of obesity prevention and control interventions in US immigrant populations across the life course, from preschool-age to adults. A systematic review of relevant studies was undertaken and eligible articles included. The initial search identified 684 potentially relevant articles, of which only 20 articles met the selection criteria, representing 20 unique studies. They were divided into interventions that targeted adults (n=7), interventions that targeted children (n=5) and pilot studies (n=8). The majority of interventions targeted Latinos, predominately Mexican-origin populations. Among the interventions targeting adults, five had an effect on obesity related outcomes. However, they tended to use less rigorous study designs. Among the interventions that targeted children, three had a positive effect on obesity-related outcomes. Three of the eight pilot studies had an effect on obesity-related outcomes. There is a paucity of data on effective interventions but a great need to address obesity prevention to help inform health policies and programs to reduce migration-related obesity inequalities.
