Based on data from a three-year longitudinal study, we assess the effect, according to gender, of emotional psychopathology in preadolescence on anthropometric and body composition parameters in adolescence (N = 229). Psychopathology was assessed using the Screen for Childhood Anxiety and Related Emotional Disorders, the Children's Depression Inventory and the MINI-International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Kids. Body fat percentage (%BF), waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) were also determined. Following analysis with adjusted multiple regression models, the results indicated that symptoms of depression and separation anxiety were significantly associated with increased WC and BMI in boys, and that somatic symptoms were associated with increased WC and %BF in girls. Diagnosis of social phobia, panic disorder or dysthymia led to significantly increased WC and/or BMI in boys and dysthymia increased WC in girls. These findings suggest that emotional psychopathology in preadolescence is associated with increased weight gain and abdominal fat in adolescence.
基于一项为期三年的纵向研究的数据，我们评估了青春期前情绪心理病理学对青少年时期人体测量和身体成分参数的影响（N=229）。使用儿童焦虑和相关情绪障碍筛查表、儿童抑郁量表和儿童迷你国际神经精神访谈进行心理病理学评估。还确定了体脂肪百分比（%BF）、腰围（WC）和体重指数（BMI）。在进行了调整后的多元回归模型分析后，结果表明，抑郁和分离焦虑症状与男孩的 WC 和 BMI 增加显著相关，而躯体症状与女孩的 WC 和 %BF 增加相关。社交恐惧症、恐慌症或心境恶劣的诊断导致男孩的 WC 和/或 BMI 显著增加，而心境恶劣导致女孩的 WC 增加。这些发现表明，青春期前的情绪心理病理学与青少年时期体重增加和腹部脂肪增加有关。
