Abstract

BACKGROUND

Lifestyle modification has long been regarded as a mainstay of treatment for youth with metabolic syndrome, obesity, and dyslipidemia. Currently, many children and adolescents are not meeting recommended intakes of key dietary components while also overconsuming sodium, added sugars, and saturated fats.

OBJECTIVE

To determine if previous lifestyle intervention trials have been effective in improving diet quality or cardiometabolic parameters in youth.

METHODS

A review of current literature was completed to determine current nutrient intake in youth, outcomes of previous lifestyle intervention trials, and recent data on confounding nutrition factors such as school-based meals and disordered eating.

RESULTS

Studies demonstrate nutrition counseling and lifestyle modification improve cardiometabolic health parameters, but results vary based on duration/intensity of the intervention and degree of parental involvement.

CONCLUSION

Studies demonstrate heart-healthy eating is achievable in youth, with trials showing improvements made to diet quality and nutrition-related cardiometabolic health markers. However, special considerations relevant to this age group should be considered when devising a nutrition care plan, as they may confound the progress in achieving a heart-healthy eating style.

对心脏有益的饮食在年轻人中可以实现吗？

长期以来，改变生活方式一直被认为是治疗青少年代谢综合征、肥胖和血脂异常的主要方法。目前，许多儿童和青少年没有达到关键膳食成分的推荐摄入量，同时也过量摄入钠、添加糖和饱和脂肪。目的确定以前的生活方式干预试验是否对改善青少年饮食质量或心脏代谢参数有效。方法对现有文献进行回顾，以确定当前青少年的营养摄入量、以前的生活方式干预试验的结果，以及有关学校膳食和饮食失调等混杂营养因素的最新数据。研究表明，营养咨询和生活方式改变可以改善心脏代谢健康参数，但结果因干预的持续时间/强度和父母参与程度而异。研究表明，年轻人的心脏健康饮食是可以实现的，试验显示饮食质量和营养相关的心脏代谢健康指标得到改善。然而，在制定营养保健计划时，应考虑到与该年龄组相关的特殊考虑，因为他们可能会混淆实现心脏健康饮食方式的进展。

期刊介绍： Because the scope of clinical lipidology is broad, the topics addressed by the Journal are equally diverse. Typical articles explore lipidology as it is practiced in the treatment setting, recent developments in pharmacological research, reports of treatment and trials, case studies, the impact of lifestyle modification, and similar academic material of interest to the practitioner. Sections of Journal of clinical lipidology will address pioneering studies and the clinicians who conduct them, case studies, ethical standards and conduct, professional guidance such as ATP and NCEP, editorial commentary, letters from readers, National Lipid Association (NLA) news and upcoming event information, as well as abstracts from the NLA annual scientific sessions and the scientific forums held by its chapters, when appropriate.
