一项新的审查发现,体育活动而不是过份饮食是预防儿童肥胖症的关键。 Physical activity, not overeating, is key to preventing childhood obesity, a new review finds.

Dick Telford教授的新评论质疑了儿童肥胖症主要是过量饮食造成的,认为体育活动比饮食对保持健康体重更为关键。 A new review by Professor Dick Telford challenges the idea that childhood obesity is mainly caused by overeating, finding that physical activity is more critical than diet in maintaining healthy weight. 活跃儿童,甚至那些吃得较多的儿童,比活跃程度较低的同龄人更瘦,这表明运动能耗的平衡性更好。 Active children, even those eating more, were leaner than less active peers, suggesting movement better balances energy use. 该研究报告批评过去的研究依赖于不可靠的BMI测量和自我报告的数据,从而歪曲了调查结果。 The study criticizes past research for relying on unreliable BMI measurements and self-reported data, which distorted findings. 它争辩说,不活动——而不是过度消费——是增重的关键驱动因素,促进可享受的各种体育活动比限制食物更健康、更有效。 It argues that inactivity—not overconsumption—is a key driver of weight gain, and promoting enjoyable, varied physical activity is a healthier, more effective strategy than restricting food.
