背景:儿童超重和肥胖是全球关注的问题,在过去的几十年中,西班牙的儿童超重和肥胖有所增加。生活方式行为的组合(即,饮食,睡眠,和沉默症)与体重状态高度相关。因此,这项研究旨在确定马德里市儿童的生活方式,并分析与超重患病率的关系,肥胖,和腹部肥胖,考虑社会经济因素。
方法:对来自ENPIMAD研究的4545名儿童进行了横断面分析,并获得了饮食数据,睡眠,人体测量学,和社会经济变量。K-means聚类分析用于识别生活方式簇,和逻辑回归被用来检验社会经济指标和集群成员之间的关联,以及群集和体重状态之间的关系。
结果:研究结果表明三种生活方式(健康,混合,和不健康),男孩和年龄较大的孩子在不健康群体中的比例更高。粮食不安全和社会经济地位低与男孩和女孩群体不健康有关。不健康人群中的儿童更有可能患有肥胖和腹部肥胖。然而,在控制粮食不安全后,这些协会在女孩中消失了。
结论:这些结果提供了与儿童肥胖相关的行为和社会经济因素组合的见解,这可能有助于设计未来的干预措施。
BACKGROUND: Childhood overweight and obesity is a global concern and has increased in Spain over the last decades. Combinations of lifestyle behaviors (i.e., diet, sleep, and sedentarism) are highly related to weight status. Therefore, this study aimed to identify lifestyle patterns among children from Madrid City, and analyze associations with the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and abdominal obesity, considering socio-economic factors.
METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 4545 children from the ENPIMAD study with data on diet, sleep, anthropometric, and socio-economic variables. K-means cluster analysis was used to identify lifestyle clusters, and logistic regressions were used to examine the associations between socio-economic indicators and cluster membership, and between clusters and weight status.
RESULTS: Findings show three lifestyle clusters (healthy, mixed, and unhealthy), with boys and older children more represented in the unhealthy cluster. Food insecurity and low socio-economic status were associated with unhealthier clusters in boys and girls. Children in unhealthier clusters were more likely to have obesity and abdominal obesity. However, these associations disappeared in girls after controlling for food insecurity.
CONCLUSIONS: These results provide insight into the combination of behaviors and socio-economic factors associated with childhood obesity that may aid in the design of future interventions.
