Abstract:
Abstract:Dietary behavior is developed and formed during childhood, and is closely related to individual, family, school, community, society, culture, policy and other factors. Unhealthy dietary behaviors will lead to overweight, obesity, malnutrition, and affect children’s health.Without effective intervention, unhealthy dietary behaviors often extend into adulthood, affecting adults’ health as well. Therefore, the development of healthy dietary behavior must be started early. In order to promote healthy dietary behavior, many interventions have been carried out in different countries with remarkable results.We should draw lessons from the existing experience, adopt comprehensive intervention measures to promote children to form healthy dietary behavior.
