Abstract

Obesity has become an increasingly serious public health challenge endangering the childhood health in China. In recent 30 years, the continuous growth of childhood obesity rate in China is closely related to the improvement of living standards and the changes of dietary behavior. Dietary behavior refers to individuals′ habitual eating activities, including food selection and purchase, eating frequency, eating quantity, cooking method, eating place, etc. Eating frequency and regular eating, dining atmosphere, breakfast, western fast food and other dietary behaviors, drinking and snack eating behaviors are related to childhood obesity. Unhealthy dietary behaviors lead to weight gain and obesity in children by affecting energy intake. Parents, schools, society and the government must work together to create a healthy eating environment for children, help them cultivate healthy dietary behaviors, keep away from obesity, and provide necessary guarantees for the healthy growth of children.
