Abstract

Purpose of review: Obesity is a growing public health concern worldwide, especially among young adults. This scoping review aims to identify and summarize the current evidence on dietary and lifestyle risk factors associated with obesity among young adults.

Recent findings: A scoping review was performed using the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A systematic search of five electronic databases published from inception to October 2023 was conducted. A total of 46 observational studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The findings suggest that high intake of energy-dense foods, unhealthy eating habits, poor sleep quality, and increased screen time were significant risk factors for obesity among young adults. In contrast, the association between obesity and sedentary behavior, low physical activity levels, alcohol consumption, and smoking habits was inconclusive. The reviewed evidence suggests that unhealthy dietary habits and lifestyle behaviors are associated with an increased risk of obesity among young adults. The findings highlight the need for further research on these modifiable risk factors to prevent and manage obesity among young adults.

年轻人肥胖的饮食和生活方式危险因素:观察性研究的范围综述

综述目的:肥胖是世界范围内日益严重的公共卫生问题，尤其是在年轻人中。本综述旨在确定和总结当前与年轻人肥胖相关的饮食和生活方式风险因素的证据。近期发现:使用PRISMA-ScR指南进行了范围审查。系统地检索了自成立至2023年10月出版的五个电子数据库。共有46项观察性研究符合纳入标准并纳入本综述。研究结果表明，高能量食物的摄入、不健康的饮食习惯、糟糕的睡眠质量以及屏幕时间的增加是年轻人肥胖的重要风险因素。相比之下，肥胖与久坐行为、低体力活动水平、饮酒和吸烟习惯之间的关系尚无定论。经过审查的证据表明，不健康的饮食习惯和生活方式行为与年轻人肥胖风险增加有关。研究结果强调，需要进一步研究这些可改变的风险因素，以预防和控制年轻人的肥胖。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to provide comprehensive review articles that emphasize significant developments in nutrition research emerging in recent publications. By presenting clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to discuss the influence of nutrition on major health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity, as well as the impact of nutrition on genetics, metabolic function, and public health. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 25 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, suggests topics of special importance to their country/region, and ensures that topics and current and include emerging research.
