To examine the association between health behavior indicators, school contentment, and academic achievement.
Structural equation modeling with 5810 adolescents.
Our model explained 36% of the variance in academic achievement and 24% in school contentment. BMI and sedentary lifestyle were negatively related to school contentment and academic achievement, but physical activity was positively related to school contentment and academic achievement (P < .01). School contentment was strongly related to academic achievement but only a weak mediator of the health behavior indicators.
Findings may inform the efforts to improve academic achievement and the general health status of youth.
探讨健康行为指标、学校满意度与学业成绩之间的关联。
对5810名青少年进行结构方程模型分析。
我们的模型解释了学业成绩方差的36%以及学校满意度方差的24%。体重指数(BMI)和久坐不动的生活方式与学校满意度和学业成绩呈负相关,但体育活动与学校满意度和学业成绩呈正相关(P <.01)。学校满意度与学业成绩密切相关,但只是健康行为指标的一个弱中介因素。
研究结果可能为提高青少年学业成绩和总体健康状况的努力提供参考。
