We examined the association between parental characteristics and disordered eating among 11- to 12-year-olds within the Danish National Birth Cohort. Frequency of fasting, purging, and binge eating was obtained by self-report from 37,592 children and combined into a measure of disordered eating (no, monthly, and weekly). Information on parental characteristics was obtained during pregnancy, from the 7-year follow-up, and by linkage to population registers. Data were analysed using multinomial logistic regression models with robust standard errors. In total, 3.1% reported weekly and 4.1% reported monthly disordered eating. Parental young age, low educational level, and overweight/obesity were associated with disordered eating. The relative risk ratios for, respectively, weekly and monthly disordered eating according to maternal eating disorder were 1.01 [0.75, 1.37] and 1.09 [0.84, 1.42]. Disordered eating is common among children and is associated with several parental characteristics. We found social inequality in disordered eating, but our data did not support an association with maternal eating disorder.
我们在丹麦全国出生队列中研究了 11 至 12 岁儿童中父母特征与饮食失调之间的关系。通过自我报告，从 37592 名儿童中获得了禁食、催吐和暴食的频率，并将其组合成饮食失调的衡量标准（无、每月和每周）。父母特征的信息是在怀孕期间、7 岁随访期间以及通过与人口登记处的联系获得的。使用稳健标准误差的多项逻辑回归模型分析数据。总共有 3.1%的人报告每周和 4.1%的人报告每月饮食失调。父母年龄较小、教育程度较低以及超重/肥胖与饮食失调有关。根据母亲饮食失调，每周和每月饮食失调的相对风险比分别为 1.01[0.75, 1.37]和 1.09[0.84, 1.42]。饮食失调在儿童中很常见，与多种父母特征有关。我们发现饮食失调存在社会不平等，但我们的数据并未表明与母亲饮食失调有关。
