Abstract

Abstract

As a new non-drug treatment technology, virtual reality technology is commonly available for childhood obesity prevention and treatment. This technology offers a great opportunity to carry out research on parental feeding behavior. Also, its combination with child nutritional education and exercise managementis is gaining popularity. This review summarizes the application progress of virtual reality technology in childhood obesity prevention and treatment, such as parental feeding, children's nutrition education and children's sports management, providing reference for childhood weight management and related research.
