This study examined the relationship between childhood obesity and overweight and functional activity and its enjoyment.
A cross-sectional design was used to analyze data from the 2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey National Youth Fitness Survey. Multivariate logistic regression models were used.
Data for 1,640 children ages 3-15 yr were retrieved. Physical activity was negatively associated with risk of obesity (odds ratio [OR] = 0.93; 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.87, 0.98]). Although children who were obese and overweight were more likely to have functional limitations (ORs = 1.58-1.61), their enjoyment of physical activity participation was not significantly different from that of the healthy-weight group.
Physical activity lowered the risk of obesity. Children who were obese had functional limitations compared with healthy-weight children, but both groups enjoyed physical activity equally. Future studies are needed to determine barriers to participation among these children in recreation and sporting activities.
本研究探讨儿童肥胖与超重和功能活动及其乐趣之间的关系。
采用横断面设计分析2012年国家健康与营养检查调查全国青少年健身调查的数据。使用多变量逻辑回归模型。
检索到1640名3 - 15岁儿童的数据。身体活动与肥胖风险呈负相关（优势比[OR]=0.93；95%置信区间[CI][0.87, 0.98]）。虽然肥胖和超重的儿童更有可能存在功能限制（OR值=1.58 - 1.61），但他们参与体育活动的乐趣与健康体重组并无显著差异。
身体活动降低了肥胖风险。与健康体重儿童相比，肥胖儿童存在功能限制，但两组对体育活动的喜爱程度相同。未来需要开展研究以确定这些儿童参与娱乐和体育活动的障碍。
