Background: Some evidence suggests that obesity and behavior problems
are related in children, but studies have been conflicting and have rarely included
children under age 4. An association between behavior problems in early childhood and
risk for obesity could suggest that a common set of factors contribute to both. Our
research objectives ... read morewere to determine the extent to which externalizing behavior in
early childhood is related to body mass index (BMI) in early childhood and through
age 12, and to evaluate whether these associations differ by sex and
race.
Keywords: Body mass index, Child Behavior Checklist, Center for
Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, Confidence interval, National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development, Odds ratio, Study of Early Childcare and Youth
