Abstract

This study sought to examine the association between feeding difficulties and the developmental and behavioral profiles of preschool children (n = 102) with developmental risks referred to a developmental pediatrics clinic. The Ages and Stages Questionnaire, the Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Social-Emotional, the Child Behavior Checklist, and the Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS) were utilized for all participants. A multiple linear regression analysis revealed a significant association between feeding issues and behavioral problems, whereas no such relationship was found with developmental domains. Positive correlations were observed across all behavioral problems and BPFAS subscales. The literature on children's feeding issues is varied, focusing on those with severe developmental delays or neurodevelopmental disorders. However, rising admissions for milder delays, particularly in developing countries, underscore the need for comprehensive intervention. It is crucial to address these children's feeding problems by considering medical, developmental, and particularly behavioral factors, given nutrition's critical role in growth and development.

从发育儿科学的角度看学龄前儿童的喂养问题和风险：一项来自欧亚国家的横断面研究。

本研究旨在研究喂食困难与学龄前儿童（n = 102）的发育和行为特征之间的关系，这些儿童有发育风险，被转介到发育儿科诊所。采用年龄与阶段问卷、年龄与阶段社会情绪问卷、儿童行为检查表和儿科行为喂养评估量表（BPFAS）对所有被试进行调查。多元线性回归分析显示，喂养问题与行为问题之间存在显著的相关性，而与发育领域没有这种关系。在所有行为问题和BPFAS子量表中均观察到正相关。关于儿童喂养问题的文献是多种多样的，重点是那些有严重发育迟缓或神经发育障碍的儿童。然而，由于较轻的延误而入院的人数不断增加，特别是在发展中国家，这突出了全面干预的必要性。考虑到营养在生长发育中的关键作用，通过考虑医学、发育、特别是行为因素来解决这些儿童的喂养问题至关重要。
