本研究旨在探讨儿童体质指数与学业成绩之间关系的潜在机制。共有1380名中国小学生（11.75岁）被邀请参加。BMI、同伴接受度和学业成绩根据各种来源（学校报告、同伴提名和认知测试）进行评估。结果表明，儿童的体重指数与学业成绩呈负相关，同伴接纳在此关系中起中介作用。此外，我们发现这种影响在不同性别之间是一致的。这些发现强调了儿童BMI在与同龄人建立积极关系和促进学业成就方面的重要性。
This study was designed to investigate the potential mechanism of the relationship between children's BMI and academic achievement. In total, 1380 Chinese elementary students (11.75 years old) were invited to participate. BMI, peer acceptance and academic achievement were assessed based on various sources (school reports, peer nominations and cognitive tests). The results indicated that the children's BMI was negatively associated with their academic achievement and that peer acceptance played a mediating role in this relationship. Additionally, we found that this effect was consistent across different genders. These findings highlight the importance of children's BMI in building positive relationships with peers and facilitating academic achievement.
