Compare the cognitive and motor development in overweight/obese infants versus normal-weight peers and investigate the correlation of body weight, body length and body mass index with cognitive and motor development.
We conducted a cross-sectional study with 28 overweight/obese infants and 28 normal-weight peers between 6 and 24 months of age. Both groups were evaluated with cognitive and motor scales of the Bayley-III infant development test. The t-test for independent samples was performed to compare the groups, and the Spearman correlation was used to verify the association between variables.
Overweight/obese infants showed lower cognitive and motor composite scores than their normal-weight peers. A significant negative association was found of body weight and body length with cognitive development and of body mass index with motor development.
This is the first study that found an effect on both cognitive and motor development in overweight/obese infants when compared with normal-weight peers between 6 and 24 months of age.
比较超重/肥胖婴儿与正常体重同龄人之间的认知和运动发育情况,并研究体重、身长和体重指数与认知和运动发育的相关性。
我们对28名6至24个月大的超重/肥胖婴儿和28名正常体重的同龄人进行了一项横断面研究。两组均采用贝利婴幼儿发展量表第三版的认知和运动量表进行评估。采用独立样本t检验比较两组,采用Spearman相关性分析来验证变量之间的关联。
超重/肥胖婴儿的认知和运动综合得分低于其正常体重的同龄人。体重和身长与认知发育呈显著负相关,体重指数与运动发育呈显著负相关。
这是第一项研究发现,在6至24个月大的超重/肥胖婴儿与正常体重同龄人相比时,其认知和运动发育均受到影响。
