Information on risks associated with obesity during infancy specific to Hispanic children is scarce. This retrospective medical record review describes characteristics and parenting practices of Hispanic children age <2 years referred for obesity care at a tertiary hospital over a 6-year period. Data on 29 Hispanic children collected from parent-completed assessment forms and clinician documentation were analyzed. Children were of mean age 16.2 ± 4.9 months; body mass index scores ranged from 1.5 to 9.4 (mean 4.5 ± 1.7); 45% were male; 97% received public insurance; 38% were breastfed ≥6 months; and 93% had a parent who was overweight or obese. Parenting practices included bottle feeding in bed (50%), regularly drinking sweetened beverages (33%), ≥2 hours of screen time (60%), and having a TV in child's bedroom (55%). Better understanding of factors that contribute to the development of rapid weight gain of Hispanic children can inform future clinical and public health interventions.
关于西班牙裔儿童婴儿期肥胖相关风险的信息很少。这项回顾性病历审查描述了在一家三级医院6年期间因肥胖问题前来就诊的2岁以下西班牙裔儿童的特征和养育方式。分析了从家长填写的评估表和临床医生记录中收集的29名西班牙裔儿童的数据。儿童平均年龄为16.2±4.9个月；体重指数得分在1.5至9.4之间（平均4.5±1.7）；45%为男性；97%获得公共保险；38%母乳喂养≥6个月；93%的孩子有超重或肥胖的父母。养育方式包括在床上奶瓶喂养（50%）、经常饮用含糖饮料（33%）、屏幕时间≥2小时（60%）以及孩子卧室有电视（55%）。更好地了解导致西班牙裔儿童体重快速增加的因素可为未来的临床和公共卫生干预提供参考。
