Research has identified a relationship between social-emotional problems and motor impairment in both pre-school and school-age children. The aim of the current study was to determine how motor performance in infancy and early childhood is related to levels of anxious and depressive symptomatology at age 6-12 years. Fifty participants were assessed by their parents 11 times between the ages of 4 months and 4 years using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), and once between the age of 6 and 12 years using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). The ASQ scores were used to obtain the stability (variance) of fine and gross motor performance. Once gestational age, sex and age of testing were taken into account, the stability of gross motor scores predicted both the anxiety/depression measure and the anxious score from the CBCL. It appears that how variable a young child's gross motor development is from 4 months to 4 years predicts the level of anxious/depressive symptoms at school age. These findings may assist in the early identification of children at risk of anxiety disorders and depression at school age.
研究已经确定了学龄前和学龄儿童的社会情感问题与运动障碍之间的关系。本研究的目的是确定婴儿期和幼儿期的运动表现与 6-12 岁时焦虑和抑郁症状的程度有何关系。50 名参与者的父母在 4 个月至 4 岁之间使用年龄和阶段问卷（ASQ）评估了 11 次，在 6 至 12 岁之间使用儿童行为检查表（CBCL）评估了 1 次。ASQ 分数用于获得精细和粗大运动表现的稳定性（方差）。一旦考虑了胎龄、性别和测试年龄，粗大运动评分的稳定性预测了 CBCL 的焦虑/抑郁测量值和焦虑评分。似乎幼儿从 4 个月到 4 岁的粗大运动发展变化程度可以预测学龄时的焦虑/抑郁症状水平。这些发现可能有助于早期识别有焦虑障碍和抑郁风险的儿童。
