The objective of this longitudinal study is to explore the relationship between temperament and physical development among infants in Beijing, China. A total of 1117 term, normal and singleton infants were followed regularly for 12 months. Body weight and horizontal length were measured at 42 days and monthly from the third to twelfth month of their lives. Infants' temperament was assessed using the revised Chinese infants' temperament scale when the infants were 6 months. There was a significant difference on temperament dimensions between infants' genders (P < 0.05). Infants' weight and length were significantly related to their parents' weight and height. Infants with positive temperaments (easy and intermediate) were heavier than those with negative temperaments (difficult and slow to warm up) (P < 0.05). The horizontal length of boys was related to their temperament categories (P < 0.05). Infants' weight and length were significantly related to their temperament category and parents' weight and height.
这项纵向研究的目的是探讨中国北京婴儿的气质与身体发育之间的关系。共有1117名足月儿、正常单胎婴儿被定期跟踪12个月。在他们出生42天时以及从第三个月到第十二个月每月测量体重和身长。婴儿6个月大时，使用修订后的中国婴儿气质量表对其气质进行评估。婴儿性别在气质维度上存在显著差异（P < 0.05）。婴儿的体重和身长与父母的体重和身高显著相关。气质为积极型（容易型和中间型）的婴儿比气质为消极型（困难型和慢热型）的婴儿更重（P < 0.05）。男孩的身长与他们的气质类型有关（P < 0.05）。婴儿的体重和身长与他们的气质类型以及父母的体重和身高显著相关。
