The relationship between behavioral problems and obesity in early childhood in Latinos is largely unknown.
Cross-sectional anthropometric and behavioral data of children at three years of age were gathered from a cohort of 174 children of Latina mothers at two San Francisco hospitals. Child behaviors were assessed using the preschool Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL/1½-5). Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between behavior and obesity.
At three years, 27.7% were obese. There were no associations between affective (OR = 1.89; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.42-8.59), anxiety (OR = 1.86; 95% CI 0.53-6.47), pervasive developmental (OR = 0.42; 95% CI 0.13-1.36), attention deficit hyperactivity (OR = 0.58; 95% CI 0.12-2.76), or oppositional defiant (OR = 6.49; 95% CI 0.65-64.49) problems and obesity.
Though psychological problems and obesity are associated among older children and adolescents, there was no association in Latino three-year olds in a low-income sample.
拉丁裔幼儿期行为问题与肥胖之间的关系很大程度上尚不清楚。
从旧金山两家医院的174名拉丁裔母亲的孩子队列中收集了三岁儿童的横断面人体测量和行为数据。使用学龄前儿童行为检查表（CBCL/1½ - 5）评估儿童行为。采用逻辑回归分析行为与肥胖之间的关联。
三岁时，27.7%的儿童肥胖。在情感问题（比值比[OR]=1.89；95%置信区间[CI]0.42 - 8.59）、焦虑问题（OR = 1.86；95% CI 0.53 - 6.47）、广泛性发育问题（OR = 0.42；95% CI 0.13 - 1.36）、注意力缺陷多动问题（OR = 0.58；95% CI 0.12 - 2.76）或对立违抗问题（OR = 6.49；95% CI 0.65 - 64.49）与肥胖之间均无关联。
虽然心理问题与肥胖在大龄儿童和青少年中有关联，但在低收入样本中的拉丁裔三岁儿童中并无关联。
