母亲抑郁与儿童肥胖的相关性研究进展

Research progress in the correlation between maternal depression and childhood obesity

母亲抑郁会引起其身心受损,导致子代早期(新生儿)体格发育不良。但母亲抑郁对子代远期体格发育的影响还存在争议。有研究表明,在发达国家暴露于母亲抑郁的子代,其肥胖的风险增加。鉴于目前我国母亲抑郁和儿童肥胖均处于高发态势,本文就母亲抑郁与子代肥胖关系研究进行综述,旨在为我国相关研究提供启示,为母亲抑郁与儿童肥胖的预防和干预提供参考。

Maternal depression can cause physical and mental harm to herself.This condition can lead to poor physical development in early offspring(newborns).However,the effect of maternal depression on the long-term physical development of offspring remains controversial.Studies have shown that offspring exposed to maternal depression in developed countries are at an increased risk of obesity.In view of the high incidence of maternal depression and childhood obesity in China,this article reviews the correlation between maternal depression and offspring obesity,aiming to provide insights for relevant research in China and offer references for the prevention and intervention of maternal depression and childhood obesity.
