| Popis: | Aims Childhood and adolescent obesity has been defined as a planetary epidemic by WHO “globesity”. The obesogenic environment, defined as a life environment promoting a high-energy intake and a sedentary lifestyle, significantly contributes to the genesis and the diffusion of the globesity. In the last decades, several authors and working groups tried to develop methodological instruments in order to guarantee a reliable analysis of an obesogenic environment. Their efforts have led to the production of a relatively large number of questionnaires with different characteristics. The general aim of these questionnaires is to identify the factors that significantly contribute to the creation of an obesogenic environment around children and adolescents. As a result of this work, a number of studies were carried out using such questionnaires. Aim of this review is to evaluate ad hoc questionnaires useful to identify and analyze obesogenic environment. Data synthesis The search was carried out in February–March 2017 using the PubMed-Medline and Scopus databases (time interval: the last 10 years). After the selection and verification phases, a total of 14 studies were selected and therefore included in the present review. Conclusions The questionnaires constructed and validated to analyze multiple constitutive elements of an obesogenic environment at the same time are complex and must be administered by qualified and trained staff. On the other hand, when two or more questionnaires are used to analyze different factors, the questionnaires used are generally shorter, self-administered, and generally easier to understand and interpret. |
