目标。目的：探讨澳大利亚小学生体重状况与多项家庭状况指标之间的关系。方法：研究方法。数据来自2001年儿童休闲活动研究(CLAS研究)和2002/3健康、饮食和游戏研究(堆研究)，涉及澳大利亚墨尔本预科(平均6岁)和5-6(平均11岁)年级的2520名儿童。根据测量的身高和体重计算儿童的身体质量指数(BMI)。体重状况(非超重或超重)根据国际肥胖工作组的分界点确定，BMI根据2000年美国增长图表数据转换为z分数。父母报告了家庭情况(在家的父母人数、婚姻状况、兄弟姐妹的存在、父母的教育、父母的就业状况、父母的工作时间[仅限希普研究])和父母的BMI。对整个样本进行了回归分析，并分别对年轻女孩、年轻男孩、大女孩和大男孩进行了回归分析。结果。单亲家庭的孩子、没有兄弟姐妹的孩子以及父母受教育程度较低的孩子往往有更高的z-BMI(p=0.002，p=0.003，p
Objective. To examine associations between weight status and multiple indicators of family circumstance in Australian elementary school children. Methods. Data were combined from the 2001 Children's Leisure Activities Study (CLAS Study) and 2002/3 Health, Eating and Play Study (HEAP Study), involving 2520 children in Grades Prep (mean age 6 years) and 5-6 (mean age 11 years) in Melbourne, Australia. Children's body mass index (BMI) was calculated from measured height and weight. Weight status (non-overweight or overweight) was determined according to International Obesity Taskforce cut-off points and BMI was transformed to z-scores based on the 2000 US growth chart data. Parents reported family circumstance (number of parents in the home, marital status, presence of siblings, parental education, parental employment status, parental work hours [HEAP Study only]) and parental BMI. Regression analyses were conducted for the sample overall and separately for young girls, young boys, older girls and older boys. Results. Children in single-parent homes, those without siblings, and those with less educated mothers and fathers tended to have higher z-BMIs (p=0.002, p=0.003, p
