Abstract

Childhood obesity is an ongoing concern in the United States. Higher weight status in early childhood is associated with higher weight status at older ages. The Maternal Obesity Matters (MOMs) Study investigated associations between maternal risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and child BMI z-scores (BMIz) among preschool-aged children. This cross-sectional exploratory study included mothers and their 3- to 5-year-old children in Colorado, United States. Maternal nonfasting blood samples, blood pressure, and maternal and child anthropometrics were collected. Maternal CVD risk was assessed on a scale of 0-5 using five health measures. Multivariate regression tested associations between maternal CVD risk and child BMIz. Each 1-point increase in maternal CVD risk was associated with a 0.18 increase in child BMIz, controlling for maternal employment. Intervening upon maternal health may be an important strategy for addressing childhood obesity.

母亲患心血管疾病的风险与学龄前儿童较高的体重指数有关：一项横断面研究

儿童肥胖症是美国一直关注的问题。幼儿时期体重较高，长大后体重也会较高。母亲肥胖问题（MOMs）研究调查了学龄前儿童中母亲患心血管疾病（CVD）的风险与儿童体重指数 z 值（BMIz）之间的关系。这项横断面探索性研究包括美国科罗拉多州的母亲及其 3 至 5 岁的孩子。研究收集了母亲的非空腹血样、血压以及母亲和儿童的人体测量数据。母亲的心血管疾病风险通过五项健康指标进行评估，评分标准为 0-5。多变量回归测试了母亲心血管疾病风险与儿童体重指数（BMIz）之间的关联。在控制产妇就业的情况下，产妇心血管疾病风险每增加 1 分，儿童 BMIz 就会增加 0.18。干预产妇健康可能是解决儿童肥胖问题的重要策略。

期刊介绍： Childhood Obesity is the only peer-reviewed journal that delivers actionable, real-world obesity prevention and weight management strategies for children and adolescents. Health disparities and cultural sensitivities are addressed, and plans and protocols are recommended to effect change at the family, school, and community level. The Journal also reports on the problem of access to effective healthcare and delivers evidence-based solutions to overcome these barriers.
