在美国，肥胖的患病率仍然高得危险，婴儿和学步儿童的肥胖率接近10%，儿童和青少年的肥胖率为17%，成年人肥胖率超过30% 1,2。虽然在过去几年中肥胖的流行程度已趋于稳定，但严重肥胖率仍在继续攀升，特别是在高危人群中。儿童期的干预很重要，因为肥胖症会持续到成年，发病率和死亡率会随之增加4 - 7。合并症通常在儿童成年之前就会影响到他们，因此需要更加努力地评估和治疗这些疾病（8 - 10），并导致医疗保健支出增加（11,12）。儿童肥胖的个人和情感问题也很严重：日常生活质量会因肥胖而显著恶化
The prevalence of obesity in the United States remains dangerously high, at nearly 10% among infants and toddlers, 17% of children and teens, and more than 30% of adults1, 2. While the prevalence has stabilized somewhat over the past few years1, rates of severe obesity have continued to climb, particularly in high-risk populations3. Intervening during childhood is important due to the persistence of obesity into adulthood with associated increased morbidity and mortality4–7. Comorbidities often affect children before they reach adulthood, requiring increased diligence in evaluating and treating these conditions8–10 and leading to increased healthcare expenditures11, 12. The personal and emotional face of childhood obesity is also serious: daily quality of life can be significantly worsened by
