背景：幼儿期是许多体重相关行为（饮食和活动）的形成期，但很少有针对该年龄组的肥胖预防研究。早期护理和教育环境是针对幼儿的干预措施的有用途径，但有限的研究提供的证据不足，无法作为政策决策、实践指南或动员努力的基础，以改善这些环境中的健康饮食和体育活动，并最终促进健康的体重发展。2011年9月，杰出的研究人员，年轻的研究人员，和早期护理和教育领域的领导者聚集在一起，审查过去的研究，并探讨未来关于2岁以下儿童健康体重发展研究的挑战和优先事项。5年在这次会议上，专家们提出并讨论了有关饮食和身体活动测量，政策和环境测量，干预方法，政策研究和能力发展的关键问题。会议结束后，与会者被邀请参加在线投票活动，以选择最高的研究priority.Results：共确定了64个研究问题，投票缩小到24个问题。评分最高的问题包括：评估儿童的膳食和零食的质量，使用的财政激励措施，干预措施，包括医疗保健提供者，屏幕时间的作用，需要多层次的interventions.Conclusions：在本次会议上的演讲强调了研究的重要性，以解决那些在早期护理和教育环境中工作的独特挑战。专家和利益相关者的优先事项共识确定了未来肥胖预防研究工作应重点关注的重要和创新领域。
Background:Early childhood is a formative period for many weight-related behaviors (diet and activity), but little obesity prevention research targeting this age group has been conducted. Early care and education settings are a useful avenue for interventions targeting young children, but the limited research provides insufficient evidence upon which to base policy decisions, practice guidelines, or mobilized efforts to improve healthy eating and physical activity, and ultimately healthy weight development in these settings.Methods:In September of 2011, prominent researchers, young investigators, and leaders in early care and education came together to examine past research and to explore challenges and priorities for future research on healthy weight development in children aged 2–5 years. During this meeting, experts presented and attendees discussed key issues around measurement of diet and physical activity, policy and environment measurement, intervention approaches, policy research, and capacity development. Following the meeting, attendees were invited to participate in an online voting exercise to select top research priorities.Results:A total of 64 research issues were identified, and voting narrowed this list to 24 issues. Highest-rated issues included: Assessment of the quality of children's meals and snacks, use of financial incentives, interventions that include healthcare providers, the role of screen time, and need for multilevel interventions.Conclusions:The presentations within this meeting highlighted the importance of research to address the unique challenges for those working in early care and education settings. Expert and stakeholder consensus of priorities identified significant and innovative areas where future obesity prevention research efforts should be focused.
