Healthy eating and obesity prevention for preschoolers: A randomised controlled trial

从经济和心理社会的角度来看，肥胖给社会带来的成本很高。澳大利亚研究人员可以在学龄前形成期预防肥胖方面发挥带头作用，因为预防干预策略已经得到了系统和严格的评估。这将是澳大利亚第一项评估学龄前儿童父母健康饮食和儿童肥胖预防计划影响的研究，无论体重状况如何。研究结果将有助于进一步制定循证预防战略，这些战略可以在澳大利亚社区广泛推广，以维持学龄前儿童健康的体重增加。

The cost to society of obesity is high from both a financial and psychosocial perspective. Australian researchers can take a lead in the prevention of obesity during the formative preschool years when prevention intervention strategies have been evaluated systematically and rigorously. This will be the first study in Australia to evaluate the impact of a healthy eating and childhood obesity prevention program for parents of preschool children, regardless of weight status. The findings will assist in further developing evidence-based prevention strategies that can be rolled out extensively in the Australian community for maintenance of healthy weight gain in preschool children.
