American Indian (AI) children suffer from high rates of obesity, obesity-related disease, obesogenic behaviors, and depressive symptoms.
Study was designed to determine the associations between depressive symptoms and obesogenic behaviors in school-aged AI children in Oklahoma.
Study design was cross-sectional. Depressive symptoms, beverage intake, fruit and vegetable intake, meal frequency, physical activity, and screen time were self-reported.
Mean participant age was 10.5 ± 1.6 years (n = 121); 64% were overweight/obese. Depressive symptoms were associated with dieting and screen time.
AI chronic disease prevention efforts will benefit by including measures for depression and associations of obesogenic behaviors and depressive symptoms in treatment planning.
美国印第安(AI)儿童肥胖、肥胖相关疾病、致胖行为和抑郁症状的发生率较高。
本研究旨在确定俄克拉荷马州学龄期AI儿童抑郁症状与致胖行为之间的关联。
采用横断面研究设计。抑郁症状、饮料摄入量、水果和蔬菜摄入量、进餐频率、身体活动和屏幕使用时间均通过自我报告获得。
参与者的平均年龄为10.5±1.6岁(n = 121);64%超重/肥胖。抑郁症状与节食和屏幕使用时间有关。
AI慢性病预防工作若能在治疗规划中纳入针对抑郁症以及致胖行为与抑郁症状关联的措施,将会从中受益。
