Abstract

Objective To investigate the quality of life (QOL) of preschool overweight and obese children aged 5 - 6, and to analyze the associated factors of QOL using the structural equation model. Methods Using the multi-stage cluster sampling method, a total of 2 256 children aged 5 - 6 were surveyed from January to March 2021.Height and weight were measured to assess overweight and obesity.The survey was conducted using the Paediatric QOL Inventory 4.0, Family Social Capital Scale and Family Cultural Capital Scale. Results Totally 294(13.03%) children were detected with overweight and 241(10.68%) children were detected with obesity.The QOL of preschool children with overweight and obesity was significantly lower than that of normal children in Nantong City.The results of the structure equation model showed that the family social capital had a direct (β=0.160, P<0.05) and indirect (β=0.159, P<0.05) positive influence on the QOL of preschool children with overweight and obesity.Family cultural capital directly influenced the QOL (β=0.264, P<0.05).The type of obesity(β=-0.104), parental marital relationship(β=0.143), and only-child or not (β=0.094) directly affected the QOL of preschool overweight and obese children(P<0.05). Conclusions The QOL of overweight and obese children in Nantong is relatively low.Among them, non-only child and children with moderate to severe obesity need more extensive attention from society.Improving family social capital, family cultural capital and parental marital relationship can effectively improve the QOL of overweight and obese children.
