With rapid economic development in China, traditional patterns of health behaviors are changing, concurrent with a rise in childhood obesity. While the home environment and parenting behaviors are modifiable factors that could be targeted for intervention, little is known about their relationship with children's health behaviors. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between obesity and home and parenting factors in Chinese children.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Nanchang, China in 2013 with caregivers (N = 470) of a child between the ages of 2 and 10 years. Regression analyses were conducted to determine risk factors for childhood obesity.
Obesity prevalence (21.7%) did not differ by demographic variables. Eight physical activity, nutrition, and sedentary variables had significant relationships to obesity status. Logistic regression analysis revealed three significant predictors of obesity: the number of days the family eats meals together (odds ratio = 0.84, 95% CI 0.73-0.96) and parental home computer use time (odds ratio = 0.83, 95% CI 0.72-0.96) were related to lower levels of obesity, while parental television time (odds ratio = 1.25 95% CI 1.07-1.47) was related to higher levels of obesity.
The prevalence of obesity among children is high in Nanchang. Family and environmental risk factors are significantly related to obesity.
随着中国经济的快速发展,传统的健康行为模式正在发生变化,同时儿童肥胖率也在上升。虽然家庭环境和养育行为是可以干预的可改变因素,但人们对它们与儿童健康行为的关系知之甚少。因此,本研究的目的是调查中国儿童肥胖与家庭和养育因素之间的关系。
2013 年在中国南昌进行了一项横断面调查,对象为 2 至 10 岁儿童的照顾者(N=470)。回归分析用于确定儿童肥胖的危险因素。
肥胖患病率(21.7%)与人口统计学变量无关。八项体力活动、营养和久坐变量与肥胖状况有显著关系。逻辑回归分析显示,肥胖的三个显著预测因素为:家庭一起用餐的天数(比值比=0.84,95%置信区间 0.73-0.96)和父母在家使用电脑的时间(比值比=0.83,95%置信区间 0.72-0.96)与较低的肥胖水平相关,而父母看电视的时间(比值比=1.25,95%置信区间 1.07-1.47)与较高的肥胖水平相关。
南昌儿童肥胖的患病率较高。家庭和环境危险因素与肥胖显著相关。
