A population-based study on the school adjustment of children with chronic fatigue.

采用儿童疲劳自评量表和儿童日常生活问卷，对仙台市及其他地区约9000名有学龄儿童的家长进行流行病学调查。研究结果表明：1)随着年龄的增长，儿童的疲劳行为越高；2)高年级女生比男生表现出更多的疲劳行为；3)儿童的疲劳行为在不同地区存在差异；4)EQS结构方程程序(Bentler，1995年)对最终路径模型有较好的拟合度(Cfi=0.876)，结果表明，儿童疲劳检查表的得分仅由“不健康的生活习惯”这一潜在变量直接预测；5)旷课与儿童疲劳检查表的得分显著相关。结论：学龄儿童表现出慢性疲劳的主要原因是睡眠、饮食等生活习惯不规律或不健康，会增加旷课的风险。

Using a child fatigue check list and a questionnaire concerning child's daily life, an epidemiological survey was performed with about nine thousand parents who had school age children, in Sendai city and other districts. The following findings were obtained : 1) higher the fatigue behavior was seen with increasing the age of children ; 2) girls of upper grades in school tended to show more fatigue behavior than boys ; 3) fatigue behavior of children appeared to be different among the districts ; 4) the EQS Structural Equation Program (Bentler, 1995) produced a fairly good fit of the final path model (CFI=0.876), which revealed that the score on the child fatigue check list was directly predicted solely by the latent variable named "unhealthy life habits" ; 5) school nonattendance was significantly correlated with the score on the child fatigue check list. It was concluded that chronic fatigue shown by school children was mainly due to the irregular or unhealthy life habits such as sleeping or eating which would raise the risk of school nonattendance.
