Prevention of Childhood Obesity: A Review of Systematic Reviews
NHS Health Scotland commissioned the Scottish Evidence Based Child Health Unit (SEBCHU) to conduct a review of systematic reviews on the prevention of childhood obesity.
The systematic review concluded that in spite of increasing research in this area, recommendations for practice are limited because of a lack of high quality trials.
The reviewed evidence suggests that obesity is a product of social, economic, lifestyle and cultural changes which require comprehensive, co-ordinated, multi-component approaches to diet and physical activity over many years. Concluding that further high quality research is needed to identify the best intervention for this age group.
