Abstract

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) affect almost half of youth in the U.S. and are linked to a host of deleterious medical and psychosocial outcomes. The current study examines the relationships among ACEs, childhood obesity, and modifiable lifestyle behaviors to inform clinical care, future research, and policy. Using data from the 2016-2018 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH), associations between children's ACEs, weight status, and health behaviors that may influence the link between ACEs and obesity were examined. In the NSCH data, 25.3% of youth aged 10-17 years experienced one ACE with another 25.9% experiencing two or more ACEs. Having ACEs was related to excess screen time and inadequate sleep, and independently associated with obesity. Findings highlight the importance of providers screening and finding ways to intervene on behalf of youth with obesity. The present provides guidelines for providers on intervening with youth experiencing ACEs.

美国青少年的不良童年经历、健康行为以及与肥胖的关系。

儿童不良经历（ACE）影响着美国近一半的青少年，并与一系列有害的医疗和心理社会后果有关。目前的研究考察了ACE、儿童肥胖和可改变的生活方式行为之间的关系，为临床护理、未来研究和政策提供信息。利用2016-2018年全国儿童健康调查（NSCH）的数据，研究了儿童ACE、体重状况和健康行为之间的关系，这些关系可能会影响ACE与肥胖之间的联系。在NSCH数据中，25.3%的10-17岁青年年经历过一次ACE，另有25.9%经历过两次或两次以上ACE。ACE与过多的屏幕时间和睡眠不足有关，并与肥胖独立相关。研究结果强调了提供者为肥胖青年进行筛查和寻找干预方法的重要性。本指南为提供者提供了干预经历ACE的年轻人的指导方针。

期刊介绍： Behavioral Medicine is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal, which fosters and promotes the exchange of knowledge and the advancement of theory in the field of behavioral medicine, including but not limited to understandings of disease prevention, health promotion, health disparities, identification of health risk factors, and interventions designed to reduce health risks, ameliorate health disparities, enhancing all aspects of health. The journal seeks to advance knowledge and theory in these domains in all segments of the population and across the lifespan, in local, national, and global contexts, and with an emphasis on the synergies that exist between biological, psychological, psychosocial, and structural factors as they related to these areas of study and across health states. Behavioral Medicine publishes original empirical studies (experimental and observational research studies, quantitative and qualitative studies, evaluation studies) as well as clinical/case studies. The journal also publishes review articles, which provide systematic evaluations of the literature and propose alternative and innovative theoretical paradigms, as well as brief reports and responses to articles previously published in Behavioral Medicine.
