Child obesity is understudied in Asian Americans, which include a growing population of recent immigrants. We examined the relationship between maternal nativity and time in the US, and obesity and obesogenic behaviors among Asian American children. We analyzed public-use data from the 2013-2016 California Health Interview Survey for Asian American children ages 2 to 11 years. We used logistic regression to determine the odds of obesity and obesogenic behaviors associated with maternal nativity and time in the US. This study included n = 609 children. Children of US-born mothers had lower odds of obesity (adjusted odds ratio, AOR, 0.12; 95% CI 0.02 to 0.91) and lower fruit intake (AOR 0.15, 95% CI 0.03 to 0.81) than children of recent immigrants (< 5 years in the US). Asian American children with recent immigrant mothers are more likely to be obese and eat less fruit than children with US-born mothers. Efforts to prevent obesity and increase fruit consumption are particularly important for this vulnerable population of children of recent immigrants.
美国的亚洲裔人群中，对儿童肥胖的研究较少，而其中还包括越来越多的新移民。我们研究了母亲的出生地和在美国的时间与亚洲裔儿童肥胖和致肥胖行为之间的关系。我们分析了 2013-2016 年加利福尼亚健康访谈调查中公开使用的数据，该调查对象为 2 至 11 岁的亚洲裔儿童。我们使用逻辑回归来确定与母亲出生地和在美国的时间相关的肥胖和致肥胖行为的几率。这项研究包括 n = 609 名儿童。与新移民（在美国居住时间不足 5 年）的儿童相比，美国出生的母亲的孩子肥胖的几率较低（调整后的优势比，AOR，0.12；95%置信区间，0.02 至 0.91），水果摄入量也较低（AOR 0.15，95%置信区间，0.03 至 0.81）。与美国出生的母亲的孩子相比，有新移民母亲的亚洲裔儿童肥胖的可能性更大，水果摄入量也更少。对于这个新移民儿童这一脆弱群体，预防肥胖和增加水果摄入的努力尤为重要。
