养狗与儿童体力活动增加有关，这反过来可能会减轻儿童肥胖症。测量儿童对狗的依恋与儿童体力活动和屏幕时间之间的联系。横断面研究包括370名家中养宠物狗的儿童(4-10岁)。家长们在探望健康的孩子之前，完成了DartScreen，一个基于网络的筛选器。筛选范围包括儿童体重指数(BMI)、体力活动、屏幕时间和与狗有关的问题。同伴动物亲和量表(CABS)被用来测量儿童对狗的依恋。诊所护士给孩子们称了称，量了量。评估了CABS、BMI z-Score、屏幕时间和体力活动之间的关系。CABS与与狗一起活动的时间密切相关(F=22.81p<；0.0001)，但与BMI z分数或屏幕时间无关。儿童对宠物狗的依恋程度越高，儿童的体力活动就越多。
Dog ownership has been associated with increased physical activity in children which in turn may mitigate childhood obesity. To measure the association between child-dog attachment and child physical activity and screen time. Cross-sectional study including 370 children (ages 4-10) who had pet dogs in the home. Parents completed the DartScreen, a web-based screener, before a well-child visit. Screener domains included child body mass index (BMI), physical activity, screen time and dog-related questions. The Companion Animal Bonding Scale (CABS) was used to measure child attachment to the dog. Clinic nurses weighed and measured the children. Associations between CABS, BMI z-score, screen time and physical activity were estimated. CABS was strongly associated with time spent being active with the dog (F=22.81, p<0.0001), but not with BMI z-score or screen time. A higher level of child attachment to a pet dog is associated with increased child physical activity.
