Childhood obesity is a major health problem with significant medical and psychosocial effects. Obesity is currently recognized as a national and international health care concern on multiple fronts. Prevention of obesity needs to incorporate changes in schools, communities, families, and industry. Child care and preschool settings should be a focus for environmental intervention efforts as they provide a large forum for nutritional education programs. Additionally, preschoolers are at an optimal age for positive influence of healthy eating habits as many food and nutrition-related attitudes and behavior patterns are developed during the preschool years. To increase the efficiency and effectiveness of prevention efforts, it is imperative to identify and incorporate successful preschool nutritional education programs. Although systematic reviews of interventions to prevent or treat overweight among children exist, to date, there are no systematic reviews of interventions for nutritional education specific to preschool-aged children.

520 $a Childhood obesity is a major health problem with significant medical and psychosocial effects. Obesity is currently recognized as a national and international health care concern on multiple fronts. Prevention of obesity needs to incorporate changes in schools, communities, families, and industry. Child care and preschool settings should be a focus for environmental intervention efforts as they provide a large forum for nutritional education programs. Additionally, preschoolers are at an optimal age for positive influence of healthy eating habits as many food and nutrition-related attitudes and behavior patterns are developed during the preschool years. To increase the efficiency and effectiveness of prevention efforts, it is imperative to identify and incorporate successful preschool nutritional education programs. Although systematic reviews of interventions to prevent or treat overweight among children exist, to date, there are no systematic reviews of interventions for nutritional education specific to preschool-aged children.
520 $a The purpose of this paper was to determine the effects, through a systematic review of the literature, of nutritional education on increasing fruit and vegetable consumption in preschool-aged children. A systematic review of the literature was conducted to a sample of 13 articles. The framework of classification used was Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt's (2005) Hierarchy of Evidence. Based on this Hierarchy of Evidence, this review indicated three Level II studies, one Level III study, two Level IV studies, one level VI study, and six Level VII studies. Duration of nutrition education did not seem to be a direct factor in outcome success, although the majority of the nutritional education programs were 20 minutes per session with repetition. This review failed to support the historical belief that nutritional education must be guided by behavioral theoretical frameworks and that parental involvement is necessary for success.
520 $a Further research is needed to develop programs that guide and advise providers on how children develop patterns of intake, and how to foster children's preferences and acceptance of healthful food, specifically fruit and vegetable consumption. This review highlights the need to evaluate more programs and further examine the impact of factors such as parental involvement, duration of intervention, and programming based on theoretical frameworks. Public and professional emphasis must be placed on preschool-aged promotion of wellness to decrease the prevalence and significance of childhood obesity.
