目的婴儿期体重增加较多是儿童肥胖的危险因素。本研究探讨了婴儿气质和父母使用的食物，以舒缓婴儿的痛苦（FTS）作为预测因子的体重增加在第一个2 years of life.Subjects/MethodsA共160个母婴二人组被招募到一个纵向研究之间的相互作用。在婴儿6个月大时，父母通过问卷调查（激越、消极）和观察者评分（激越、易怒）对婴儿气质进行评估。当孩子6个月大时，父母还完成了3天的婴儿哭声日记，以评估他们何时使用食物来应对婴儿哭声/大惊小怪。在实验室测量6个月和18个月的婴儿体重/身长。多元回归进行测试的调节效果FTS对weight gain. Results显着的相互作用，揭示了两个措施的surgency和父母FTS预测体重增加。父母倾向于使用FTS的手术婴儿在1年内比父母倾向于使用较少FTS的婴儿有更大的身高体重增加。观察员的易怒和父母的FTS评级之间的相互作用也是显着的，但在一个意想不到的direction.ConclusionsThe研究结果点的气质，特别是surgency，在婴儿期体重增加的作用，但只有当他们的父母使用FTS。突发事件可能引发了这种喂养做法，增加了他们的健康风险。
ObjectivesGreater weight gain in infancy is a risk factor for childhood obesity. The present study examined the interaction between infant temperament and parent use of food to soothe infant distress (FTS) as predictors of weight gain across the first 2 years of life.Subjects/MethodsA total of 160 mother–infant dyads were recruited into a longitudinal study. Infant temperament was assessed by parents through a questionnaire (surgency, negativity) and by observer ratings (surgency, irritability) during a laboratory visit when infants were 6 months old. Parents also completed a 3-day infant cry diary when their children were 6 months of age to assess when they used food in response to infant cry/fuss bouts. Infant weight/length was measured in the lab at 6 and 18 months. Multiple regressions were run to test the moderating effect of FTS on weight gain.ResultsSignificant interactions were revealed for both measures of surgency and parent FTS in predicting weight gain. Surgent infants whose parents had a greater tendency to use FTS had greater weight-for-length gain in 1 year than if their parents tended to use less FTS. The interaction between observer ratings of irritability and parent FTS was also significant but in an unexpected direction.ConclusionsThe findings point to the role of temperament, specifically surgency, in weight gain during infancy, but only if their parents used FTS. Surgency may have evoked this feeding practice that increased their health risk.
