目的：回顾文献，评估减少电视（TV）观看是否是成人肥胖治疗计划的一个有前途的行为目标。方法：研究检查成人看电视和肥胖之间的关联，以及相关的儿科文献进行了审查。研究了减少儿童看电视的干预措施，以告知成人干预措施。结果：在横断面和纵向研究中，成人看电视一直与更大的肥胖风险相关。改变看电视的策略在儿童中被证明是有效的，但尚未在成人中进行过测试。结论：有必要对成人中有针对性地观看电视对体重结果的有效性进行评估。
Objectives: To review literature evaluating whether television (TV) viewing reduction is a promising behavioral target for obesity treatment programs for adults. Methods: Studies examining associations between TV viewing and obesity in adults were reviewed, as well as relevant pediatric literature. Interventions to reduce TV viewing among children were examined to inform adult interventions. Results: Adult TV viewing has been consistently associated with greater obesity risk in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Strategies to alter TV viewing have been demonstrated effective among children but have not been tested in adults. Conclusions: Evaluation of the efficacy of targeting TV viewing among adults on weight outcomes is warranted.
