人们越来越关注可能导致儿童和青少年超重的潜在风险因素，因此，这些因素可能是干预的重要目标。从历史上看，儿童的饮食和活动习惯在预防和治疗超重的计划研究中受到了相当大的关注。然而，最近的研究发现，其他因素可能在这种日益严重的流行病中发挥作用。特别令人感兴趣的是儿童的睡眠时间。本文的目的是回顾评估儿童睡眠时间与超重风险之间关系的研究，试图揭示睡眠在日益增长的肥胖流行病中的潜在作用。虽然睡眠时间缩短与儿童超重增加有关，但在建议增加儿童睡眠作为解决当前肥胖流行病的手段之前，还需要进行更多的研究。
Increasing attention is being focused on potential risk factors that may lead to overweight in children and adolescents and that may, therefore, be important targets for intervention. Historically, children's eating and activity habits have received considerable attention in programmatic research targeted at prevention and treatment of overweight. However, more recent research has found that additional factors may play a role in this growing epidemic. Of particular interest is children's sleep duration. The goal of this article is to review research that has assessed the association between children's sleep duration and overweight risk in an attempt to uncover the potential role of sleep in the growing obesity epidemic. Although shortened sleep duration is associated with increased overweight in children, additional research is needed prior to recommending that children's sleep be increased as a means to address the current obesity epidemic.
