Fifteen years ago, public health experts urged industry, governments, and advocates to take action to dramatically improve the unhealthy food-marketing environment surrounding children in order to address the global childhood obesity crisis. Since then, research has confirmed that food marketing to children has far-reaching negative effects on their diets and health, takes advantage of adolescent vulnerabilities, and contributes to health disparities. In addition, digital marketing has profoundly changed young people's engagement with brands. Moreover, reliance on industry self-regulation as a solution has proven ineffective. Government-led policies have been more successful, but they remain limited in scope and challenging to adopt and implement. New approaches are necessary to increase public and policy maker awareness that food marketing is more than a nuisance, that it threatens the long-term health of children and adolescents worldwide, and that meaningful governmental action is urgently required to curtail industry's negative impact on young people's well-being.Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Public Health, Volume 45 is April 2024.

不仅仅是滋扰：食品营销对遏制儿童肥胖的公共卫生努力的影响

十五年前，公共卫生专家敦促行业、政府和倡导者采取行动，大幅改善儿童周围不健康的食品营销环境，以解决全球儿童肥胖危机。此后，研究证实，针对儿童的食品营销会对他们的饮食和健康产生深远的负面影响，利用青少年的脆弱性，并加剧健康差距。此外，数字营销深刻改变了年轻人与品牌的互动方式。此外，事实证明，依靠行业自律作为解决方案是无效的。政府主导的政策更为成功，但其范围仍然有限，并且难以采纳和实施。需要采取新的方法来提高公众和政策制定者的认识，让他们认识到食品营销不仅仅是一种滋扰，它还威胁着全世界儿童和青少年的长期健康，政府迫切需要采取有意义的行动来减少食品营销对年轻人的负面影响。 《公共卫生年度回顾》第 45 卷预计最终在线发布日期为 2024 年 4 月。请参阅 http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates 了解修订后的估计。
